[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think it depends on what you're looking for. I went to the main campus of a university with a robust regional system. In my area of the country, the regionals weren't looked well upon. In DC or New England or even CA, the difference wouldn't be as stark. [/quote]

What if your flagship isn't an option? Do you do a [b]lesser [/b]flagship in a different state just because it's still better ranked? It was very discouraging to read this post.[/quote]

Don’t overestimate the importance of minor differences in rankings. Outside of a small number of coastal obsessives, it’s not common for people to scour the USNews rankings in a daily basis, & freak out when some college drops from 27 to 29.

I think it’s only natural for people to consider a school more credible if  they have actually heard of it (eg, U of Alabama) over one they have never heard of. So there is something to be said for choosing a famous OOS public, even if its rank is 100+, & its football team is better than its physics department. [/quote]
