in my experience, the UM degree didnt make that much of a difference esp in a field where interviews are a requirement (med, dental). It really matters on the person and there are other factors along with the stats that will be a determining factor before the undergrad degree. w regards to your...

not if your test scores suck. i know kids who went to FIU/UCF/FSU solely bc of the cost and in fairness, if youre a fla resident, going to UM for undergrad where youre paying is stupid since bright futures covers your cost at a state school. theyre as smart as the UM kid, but finances make it...

thats fair. i went to UM for undergrad but i also got a post grad degree so it didnt really matter what my undergrad degree was in bc it wasnt going to matter.

also i went to UM and zero shot the UM degree is worth something that the quoted poster is referring to. great school but man its not harvard compared to UGA.

greater area -- Gainesville (orlando), Athens (ATL), Tusca (B-Ham) id say

this. absolutely makes no real diff. also, for those arguing bout jobs in Dc and NYC from UGA, these kids (anywhere) don't give a **** bout that. more often than not, if they dont make the Pros, they'll stay in the area they went to school.

for undergrad, if you aren't at a top 20 school really maybe 25 depending on the name, its very regional and depends on connections (depending on your field of course). if you want to stay in ATL or in GA, overall, UGA is perfect. it's not a bad school at all and the ATL area is filled w alums...
