    Imagine thinking these kids care about academics

    Imagine thinking kids who go to Stanford don't care about academics.
    Imagine thinking period.
    It’s easy if you try.
    No hell below us
    We're already in it

    uw does rank high, but the high ranking is because uw has a very solid medical school, which gets the most $$$ in research grants in the country. But there is nothing unique about a 4-year degree from uw. And I doubt many football players are in the medical program.

    JFC. Spoken like someone who would really know what they're talking about on this matter.

    Burn this thread down. Tafiti wanted Stanford because they are second to none in the academies category and he was notified he got in over the weekend.

    Oregon the journalism school can STFU on the topic.

    UW has more than just a solid med school. You're absolutely right about a bachelor's degree being no more valuable than a run of the mill degree from a directional school or branch campus though.

    A BS or MS from high brow schools like Oregon State, Humboldt State, Colorado State, and even Idaho-Moscow have more prestige in my field than one from UW. No joke. Not that it really matters. Hiring decisions always come down to experience and interviews.
    Any high school kid who is serious about their education isn't choosing those schools over UW unless they can't get the money/scholarship to go to UW. Idaho will take you with a fucking 2.0, and beavlet...lol.

    Fuck me for even touching this thread.

    Jesus Fetters you are truly a idiot

    The people on Dawgman who legitimately try to act like UW is the same level academically as ND, Cal, or Stanford because they saw UW was a top ten university on some bullshit ranking are the absolute worst. UW is a good school, but the doogs think it’s the same tier as an Ivy. Spoiler, it’s not.
    I have degree from uw, that should end all the uw prestige discussions

    I love how Fetters makes up an excuse about how Washington not being rated high enough academically is why we suck at recruiting now. Pete had no problem beating Stanford and ND for recruits. We just have a staff that is lazy and sucks at recruiting. It's really that simple.

    Umm, what alum thinks this? I've never been to dawgman and don't care what they think.

    The only ones that I know of that even remotely push this are the ones that spent most of their 4 years in a library and didn't have any fun and stressed balls in some bio/med program the entire time.

    “I’m closing my recruitment completely; this is the school I wanted and this has been my dream school since freshman year,” Tafiti said.

    Stanford has been his dream school for two and a half years. Hard to beat that.

    We were Morrison's dream school since he was like 8 years old lol
    No fucking way?!?!
