Message: [QUOTE="Viet Vet, post: 4744025, member: 8688"] We have to be very careful when evaluating rankings. Some are based solely on academic prowess, some on graduates’ starting salaries, some on “campus environment”, some on graduate school placements. FYI: I was accepted to an Ivy League school (Penn) and partied heartily until flunking out in the Spring of ‘69 (draft notice impending). So I enlisted, went through Artillery OCS, and served three years in the U.S. Army, including a year in Vietnam. After service I transferred to UConn, matured, married, and (thank you taxpayers) on the GI Bill. Graduated Summa Cum Laude. Was accepted, and earned an MBA from Harvard Business School. Does my experience (make no mistake, I loved the education I received at UConn) mean UConn is a “better” school than Penn? No. It simply highlights that I was a better/disciplined/mature student after life-changing experiences. [/QUOTE]
