[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Anyone who says UVA (or Georgia Tech) are unknown out west must not know educated people. Those are national name[/b]s.

$120,000 is a lot of money no matter how wealthy you are.[/quote]

I live on the east coast so I can't really say for sure how well known UVA or Georgia Tech are out west, but I'm just speculating that they're not extremely well recognized.  Perhaps they are by "educated" people in the sense that they have a child that has gone through the college admissions process in the last few years and have looked at colleges on the east coast. But I will say that I consider myself an"educated" person and I did not know anything about many of the schools that are mentioned on this board until I started poking around here and college confidential, which is not something the average person does.  For example, as far as California schools go, until two years ago the only schools that really stood out as good in my mind were Berkley and Stanford.  I have certainly heard of UCLA, but had no idea it was so high in the rankings.  I also didn't know of the existence of the University of California and California State college systems or that the University of California system is considered the "better" one.  I now know that UC San Diego is more "prestigious" than San Diego State, since it is a UC.  But, I would never have known that three years ago.  And I don't think the average east coast resident that isn't as obsessive about colleges as I am would know that either. [/quote]

Easy way to test name recognition is ask someone in your DC’s intended field of MAJOR. For example, Ga Tech is top 5 engineering school. Ask engineers, and they will tell you.[/quote]
