<p>won’t some people still go for the name-recognition?</p>
<p>for example, cornell’s graduate school of education is ranked #45 by US News, so let’s assume it’s not a top program. on the other hand, university of oregon is ranked #13, so it probably has a respectable program. </p>
<p>would applicants be more likely to go for oregon than cornell in this situation? also, wouldn’t cornell’s general name-recognition make up for its low ranking?</p>
