For example, from a SUNY perspective, my firm (and others) don't even look unless it is Geneseo, Binghamton or Buffalo.
Interesting since this would mean that you are omitting the highest ranking SUNY school on the US News and World Reports National Ranking.
Just to be clear, if you are considering schools in the Top 30 Nationally, none of these options are even close. Our point is that the discussion can be about the strongest national universities (Top 30), the top state university school systems, or the best value for money in public and private institutions. Rarely will you be able to intersect all three of these criteria.
Let's put it this way. I think it's smarter to go to a school that will pay for your education through an athletic scholarship, work hard to get great grades and graduate debt free. After you graduate you are in the drivers seat meaning you can backpack through Europe or begin graduate school at any school you choose because you can now afford it. Some kids go to name brand schools with enormous tuition only to graduate with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt. Why? Today's market looks at the grad school diploma and the achievements made along the way. No debt, great grades and lots of playing time result in a stress frees start to the rest of your life upon graduation which is what all parents want for their kids.
"Pay for your education through an athletic scholarship" - you actually wrote that? You are drinking the YJ kool aid too much. The "full ride" does not exist. Heard the YJ's are switching mascots to the unicorn to be more realistic.
