[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot also depends on the age of the person.  Older people aren't impressed by state schools, unless it is UVA, Berkley or Michigan.  People in their 50's probably add Texas, UCLA and UNC to the list.

Regionally, a lot of state schools have a lot of prestige.

Show us on the doll where UCLA hurt you.

The top ranked public for basically the last decade, with the most applications in the U.S. and the lowest acceptance rate of all publics, is only considered on Virginia’s or Michigan’s level by those in their 50s? Feel free to also peep the cross admit data and the comprehensive student rankings when you’re ready to return to reality.[/quote]

UCLA was pretty easy to get into in the 1980s and 1990s.  It was a good school but not prestigious.  Berkeley was much better academically.
