Denver is a good school. As I said, any PhD would know which rung it was on. Florida State is not selective at all, but UF is. You don't even seem to know the colleges in your own area.

If you didn't go to one of the top 25 schools in the country, does it really matter where you go? I suspect it doesn't- at least not very much. The designer logo aspect of the power schools only attaches to a very few schools. Most people learn on their own in college anyway (and hopefully after) so it really doesn't matter where they go, as long as they learn in college and keep learning. Some people do seem to be able to go through without growing at all- those people, imo, are missing out, but it's hard to say they are wrong, it's just a different lifestyle choice. I think the real issue is what Ms. Rice does on the job- and how you rate that depends on where you want this country to go, and how much slack you want to cut the administration for giving us one line on Iraq, and having that be wrong- of course the huge block of folks in this country who still think Iraq and Al Q were holding hands, and that 9/11 had something to do with Iraq, are part of the slack cutting majority- so what can you do? Not much. Slagging anyone off about their appearance, or even going to a less than first rate school, really doesn't have much to do with job performance, imo, of course.
