I’m just saying “perception wise.” Don’t get me wrong, UF is a great school as is FSU - the selectivity is high.
Interestingly, I walked campus last night and today and saw not a single top 5 banner although I’ve seen the pics so i’m sure they’re out there.
I know UF is a great school. But I don’t think company strategies change overnight - and I hope people apply to the right school for them.
Let’s be honest - if you live in Missouri, Mizzou may be right for you. Live in Wisconsin and it may be right for you. If you are a great student living anywhere, Bama and Arizona are right - and Bama ranks tops for internships - and it’s - I don’t know - not Vandy, Florida or UGA (the SEC top 3) - so…and I get it. Not denigrating Florida. I’m glad my kid is not there - but only because it’s not the right fit - too big - as was UGA which may be harder to get into and is stronger in her major.
My bigger concern is her major - International Studies - she could go to Harvard and I’m still not sure what you do with it 
will let you know in four years!! She is learning Chinese.
People have reasons to go to the schools they choose and I hope everyone is proud of their school - but obviously UF is wonderful.
I do wonder the out of state NMF decision - if that will hurt??
I expected UGA to rise pretty well but didn’t…it’s very difficult to get in.
