[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rice is not prestigious outside of Texas. I highly recommend Cornell because public policy is a field where the institution you go to matters. [/quote]

Agree. Rice is largely a regional school (37%of students are from TX).  [/quote]

Texas is a heavily populated stated - almost 30 million. That’s close to 10% of the US population. It’s the 2nd biggest state in the country.

:D 41% of Stanford’s enrollment is from California, the nation’s largest state. Regional school?
34% of Harvard’s enrollment is from Mass, NY, and CT, which combine for the same population as TX. Regional school?
28% of MIT’s enrollment I’d from Mass, NY, NJ, and CT, all of which could fit into a corner ot TX. Regional school?
34% of Yale students are from those same 4 states. Regional school?
33% of Princeton students are from NJ and NY, which combine for the same population as TX. Regional school?
44% of Cornell Students also Come from NY and NJ. Regional school?
30% of Columbia students are also from NY/NJ. Regional school?
37% of Dartmouth students come from NY, NJ, and 4 New England states. Regional school?
38% of Penn students are from PA, NJ, MD, & DC with same population as TX. Regional school?

Shall I continue?[/quote]

DP. It’s interesting that all these elite schools draw so heavily from their region. In the past, I’ve seen some DCUM posters denigrate Top 25 schools as “regionals.” Good to know that all the Ivies are “regionals” too!!![/quote]

Right. At least one poster commonly on ranking threads loves to bash UVA as a “regional” school. Good to know that UVA is hanging with the Ivies on that one![/quote]
