[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all the posts about name recognition, a student would likely do better on the job market with a 3.9 from JMU or U of SC than a 3.2 from William and Mary.  GPA usually trumps name recognition.[/quote]

I think this is true for the first job after college, and for graduate school admissions. Otherwise, I think the name of the school matters much more than the major or anything else. [/quote]

Disagree. Why hire a kid that didn't try or couldn't hack it at a school like W&M?[/quote]

You wouldn't know the kid got into W&M and chose not to go.  All you know if the kid attended JMU and excelled.

College is 99.9% about what you do with yourself at college.  and 0.1% about where you go. 
IMO, you choose the school that is a best fit so you can achieve the most and also one that leaves you with the least debt.

JMU vs W&M is not a huge difference.  It's not like they are comparing Radford (for anything other than teaching) and W&M (radford is a good school, just several levels below those 2)
