Message: [QUOTE="relaxer, post: 4774374, member: 7852"] Michigan and Notre Dame are a step above academically generally speaking. The others have quality programs in certain areas that can stack up or surpass these schools, but on average, UM and ND are considered stronger academic institutions. The likes of Cuse and PSU are perfectly good schools (again, great schools in certain programs/degrees), and a smart person will still have the resources to achieve all of the post-college success they are looking for. But just ignoring the actual nuts and bolts of the academics, reputation alone is a significant factor. The doors that a more prestigious name on the resume opens for you makes things significantly easier. And Notre Dame is certainly a more prestigious name than Cuse on a resume. [/QUOTE]
