Ask most people and Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and Michigan are more important. They may be important in your circle, but there are people who have no idea what they are. If you are talking about research, then Cal, USF, Michigan, Washington... should be on the list |

Harvard English... Harvard is still Harvard. They don't admit by major, so even getting into Harvard English is very difficult. |

+1 Have to agree there. Can't help but wonder why OP keeps starting these kinds of threads. He needs to let it go re: where he, his kids v. other kids attend/ed school. |

It is a big scam by rich white people who try hard to promote their school brands as "prestigious" after they send their ALDC kids to these schools for easy majors. Middle-class people should be aware of this. If you blindly think that "Harvard" is such a prestigious name, so you will be all set spending a ton of money, that could be a big mistake.
CMU CS, NYU Stern, GT SFS etc. are more prestigious than useless majors at those school names that keep popping up. If it's really prestigious, it will be highly valued in society, industries, and the real world. Harvard English: $49,675 https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/?166027-Harvard-University&fos_code=2301&fos_credential=3 Northwestern Psychology: $61,389 https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/?147767-Northwestern-University&fos_code=0999&fos_credential=3 Does it look prestigious? They are simply not. Now CMU Elect Engineering: $$149,740 https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/?211440-Carnegie-Mellon-University&fos_code=1107&fos_credential=3 Northeastern CS: $132,227 https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/?167358-Northeastern-University Boston College Finance: $110,242 https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/?164924-Boston-College&fos_code=5208&fos_credential=3 These seem more serious and prestigious. If someone throws out some school names and tries to convince you that they are prestigious, it is likely a rich white person with an ALDC kid trying to scam you. Watch Out. |
