[quote=Anonymous]Bigger question how do you even know college was prestigious?

I went to Stony Brook way back but at time I was accepted in 1979 campus was only built in 1960s and was a newer school with no history and reputation was a party school. Today it is an internationally recognized school and the Flagship school state of NY.

People who know me will laugh if I say I went to StonyBrook as I had a 78 GPA out of HS and 990 on SAT as was a huge goof off in HS who never studied.

For instance Jill Biden got a PhD Delaware and Joe Biden went to Delaware. What is hard to believe back then if you were a Delaware resident you were automatically admitted. All Joe needed was a HS degree or equivalency to get in.

Sine has to do with population the population of Long Island from 1979 to 2023 grew massively but StonyBrook of roughly same size now add in international and out of state students much harder to get in.

Same can be said all the Virginia State schools. The HS class of 1980 vs class of 2023 night and day.

I read the population on Montgomery County has doubled in last 20 years so even in 1993 much easier to get into university of Maryland.

My HS sent some kids to Harvard. That one high school sent a few kids to Harvard would be impossible today. [/quote]
