UF VS. FSU

[jeffrey]

So just thinking ahead here, FSU or Uf for undergrad, th 1 w/the higher rank or the one w/endless intern opportunities at the capital. Also 10 uf applicants represented at Harvard  Law or the one w/ only 2 ?

[jeffrey]

really,even though all the legal experience won't be  at ahnd in gainsville? I'm so torn bwtn the 2, gov't jobs would be awsome!

You can intern in the summer. UF has superior academics and reputation to FSU. Hell, go to USF before you go to FSU.

He's talking about UF grads who went on to Harvard Law versus FSU grads who went on to Harvard Law. This kid is still in HS and is deciding on where he should look to go for UG.

So why do you think that is? either less fsu students apply or does HLS realy pick their student based on school "rank"?

Are you from FL?  I ask b/c out of state people may not know that UF is far superior to FSU when it comes to undergrad education (much like how I have no idea whether ASU or UofAz is better). 

FSU is a safety school.  I think UF simply has more high quality students (in terms of grades and especially SATs) to begin with, while FSU does not.  If you can get into UF, it is very rarely that you would choose to attend FSU.  However, it does happen (I've had a couple friends do this).
