The average person on the streets in the SW hasn’t a clue where University of Rochester is, much less what it’s reputation is.

However, among the scientists, engineers and doctors at the 2 National Labs, Intel, the state universities, the medical school, White Sands, Philips Research Lab, the Very Large Array, etc UR is well-known and well regarded. Mostly because a goodly number of them either went there themselves or have worked with someone who went there.

And it doesn’t bother me or my D that at all that most people haven’t heard of it-because we both know that the people who will be interviewing her for jobs/med school admission/grad school admission in 2 years have heard of it.
