[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know at the outset that this is an impossible question to answer, as one would need to better know grades/scores, etc., and it's also so subjective.  That said, please do take a stab at it.  Assuming a strong student (but not top ten percenter in grades or SATs) and well rounded extracurriculars (but not a recruitable athlete or a phenom in any one thing), and no hooks, what are some of the "brand name" schools one might take a look at.[/quote]

This was pretty much me, a good but not great student.  Probably the best school for someone like that as far as "name" wise would be a large public that's not the state's flagship, but not a satellite school either.  It would be the number 2 public school in it's state and would have "Tech" or "State" in it's name.  It would have national recognition from athletics; either they make the top 8 regularly in basketball or go to a major bowl each year in football.

Assuming that the student will continue to be solid but not spectacular in college, then ideally, it would be in a big population center to help with recruiting and internships, and have a large alumni network.  If you're not sure about what to study, then unis with 25k+ students are good since there's a wide variety of majors.            [/quote]
