<p>I’m not saying it isn’t a good school. But sumzup hits on exactly why they will not ever have to worry about it. </p>
<p>They are national brand names. Reasons to brag. People who get into those schools can tell anyone, anywhere that they got in and people will be impressed. The only reason I know about stonybrook is that I used to work with a physical therapist that went there. The same can be said about my school (NC State) Its a top 10 school for my field, but a lot of people nationally have never heard of it. I also graduated from UNC Chapel hill, a top 20’s undergaduate school nationally…still everyone has heard of Princeton, Columbia, etc…not everyone has heard of UNC, and therefore they have a larger applicant pool, just the way it goes…</p>
