Is Rutgers University a very respected school?

I would say that except for Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, Virginia, and perhaps one or two others, most of the top 20 flagship state universities are roughly equivalent. And I would include Rutgers in that group of 20.

And if you go to one of those schools, they are very suitable launchpads to get into a good graduate school.

I think the top grad schools, and top companies, know that not everyone can afford to go to an expensive private school, and that many of the top students at the public ivies are just as good as most of the top students at the private ivies.

I know people in Florida who have gotten into medical school after going to Nova Southeastern University and Florida International University.

When I was a kid, I knew someone who got into med school from SUNY Cortland.
