“Does this look like a University with a shoddy reputation?”

I never said that. It just will not open many doors outside of FL or the South.

“UF is the alma mater of more current members of the U.S. Congress than any other public university as currently nine alumni serve in the House or Senate.[2]”

Oh come on!!! Can you use logic or think a little? So, basically you are telling me that FL people and southerners like to elect people from the University of Florida. WOW! I am so surprised! It’s basically what we’ve told you on this forum. It’s a great school IF you want to stay in the South. You mentioned that you might relocate to the North East. Hence, my position.

I don’t mean to get into an argument. Go to UF if you want, it’s no my problem. You asked for opinions, I am free to give mine even if you don’t like it. If you know UF is the best route, then why bother asking?

Fine, I’ll change my mind: UF is your best option, more so than Cornell and any other NY school. Happy?

PM me if you want to discuss my background, which, in any case, is entirely irrelevant.

“I started the post hoping that people who have actually lived outside of the realm of academia and have survived in the real world would give an honest, not arrogant opinion.”

Perhaps the fact that you didn’t get a response from them testifies to the quality of your question.
