who cares about GPA after your first job??This thread is a good example of changing times. 80K at a private school or less than 20K out of state with good numbers at an Alabama or Florida St type school. Sure Wake may be better academically but a 3.5 at Alabama trumps a 2.8 at Wake any day of the week in terms of grad school or the job market. Throw in a savings of 240K it really makes a lot of sense. Even if you have the means to pay the extra 240K is it worth it? Most large state campus are great and there is tons to do at any of those schools. Tuscaloosa is mediocre...but Winston certainly isn't anything to write home about either. Football season would certainly be more fun.
