[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is "brand name" top 50? Top 100?[/quote]

I think of them as schools everyone knows. So, Penn State is included and Williams is not. [/quote]

Hmm, so does this "everyone" = people who follow college sports (vs., say, people who do graduate admissions or make hiring decisions)?[/quote]

Reading through the thread, "brand name" schools does seem to correlate with schools that field Division I sports, with Emory and Chicago being the well-deserved exceptions.

If Tulane has truly taken some kind of application hit because of Hurricane Katrina, then it's a candidate for a great brand name school that's easier than it should be to get into. As good a school as any, and a strong alum network around here, from what I've seen.

I don't work in graduate admissions, and the hiring decisions I make only make me wish I had the problem of distinguishing between Rice grads and Baylor or SMU grads. So take it for what it's worth.[/quote]
