[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing second tier about Rice, Vandy or Emory. I'd say Wisconsin, BU, Northeastern, Penn State, Villanova, Drexel, UConn, UNH, UVM, Elon, Case Western, . In terms of LACs - Union, Franklin and Marshall, Dickinson, Gettysburg, Hobart, Rhodes, Knox, Lewis and Clark, [b]Ursinus[/b], Skidmore,Wofford, DePaul, DePauw, Ohio Wesleyan, Denison, [b]College of Wooster, Earlham[/b].

These are all very good schools just not first tier.[/quote]

I'd add University of Illinois and [b]New College of Florida[/b]. [/quote]

WTF??  These are not brand name colleges!  You people need to think about the schools Wal-Mart Nation knows.  Believe me, I went to a national university that the folks in my small town SWORE was in California "because it was on TV."  Needless to say, it was not in California.  Not even close. [/quote]

I think the top list of schools is a fantastic one.  I'd be thrilled for my kid to end up at any of them.  But I think most of them are the opposite of what was asked for in the OP, which is schools whose name recognition outpaces their selectivity.

ON that list, I'd say that Wisconsin, Penn State, and UConn are closest to what the OP requested.  What do they have in common?  Large numbers of alumni (you're way more likely to work with a Wisconsin grad than a Wooster grad, simply due to numbers), and nationally televised sports.  [/quote]
