[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think UMC/rich people look down on big state flagship football schools? They are popular and have low acceptance rates- is this looked down upon? [/quote] The engineering programs at Tufts or Dartmouth can't touch UIUC's in terms of rankings and reputation, but attending the private institutions sounds more prestigious to many people.[/quote] Here is the problem. The obsession is everywhere. For engineering/CS, the snobs go by the CS ranking, in which UIUC is a top 5 school, others in T5 including Cal, Stanford, MIT, CMU. You can't imagine how they look down on Tufts / Dartmouth. [/quote] The CS prestige whores think it's either CS T5 or bust. They don't care about fit. Their kids might thrive at Tufts/Dartmouth engineering, but that doesn't matter. [/quote]
