[quote=Anonymous]There was a time when UCLA was ranked higher than USC. Recently the schools have been ranked as equals (or USC slightly ahead). In the next decade or so USC is likely to move past UCLA because they are going to be in a much better financial position. There is an open question, however, as to what matters most to a prospective student: past prestige or future prestige. The prestige of the school that you graduate form matters most when you are looking for that first job or applying to grad school. Once you are in a job or in grad school, no amount of undergrad prestige will offset (or undermine) performance. The people who decide upon job offers or graduate school admissions may not be up to speed on the most recent rankings. You can tell from some of the posts on this thread that some people still cling to the beliefs that they had a decade (or more) ago. So, I would argue that past prestige is more important than future prestige. [/quote]
