[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it does not. It is a school for kids who will stay in FL. I grew up in Tallahassee, so I know. I got the hell out as quickly as I could.
The order is UF by a wide margin, FSU, and the rest of the local schools (central, south, north, etc.). The best kids in the state go to UF. UF is the only school that has a non-FL reputation but it is a tier or two below the good state flagships. I'd rank UW-Madison, for example, far above it. To say nothing of the UMich, UNC, the UCs. FSU is not in the discussion. [/quote]

Florida State is definitely well regarded outside of Florida - which is one reason why many OOS want to go there (this current cycle had only a 23% acceptance for OOS).  They do have some very strong programs and will not have any issue with job placement outside of Florida.   To say that Florida State is not well-regarded is to say that only UVA in Virginia matters and all of the other Virginia schools are nothing.  There are many stellar kids who go to Florida State.  In some cases, they might have been rejected by FSU but accepted at UF.  In Florida, I think people definitely regard UF, FSU, UCF and U Miami very highly.  [/quote]
