[quote=Anonymous][quote]I do think those are very different questions though. Schools that have a focus on preparing undergrads for grad school are different than those that prepare them for careers right out of undergrad. Both are valuable, but depending on the applicant's interests.[/quote]

Right, but the topic headline said "national pull for jobs/[b]grad schools[/b] in the widest range of fields" so I was addressing half of this.  I would also argue that academic rigor in a range of areas would be a great fit for a student who wasn't sure what they would like to study, and would benefit them well afterwards even if they decided they did not want to go to grad school.

For a student with broad interests who is not laser focused, I would not recommend a large state school because there is a lot of bureaucracy to navigate and you are one person in the masses and you are less likely to have that great mentorship relationship that spurs a passion in one area or another.  If someone really really wants to be an engineer or applied agricultural sciences and there is a program that is a great fit, it might be a better choice.[/quote]
