'State' v. 'Private' Universities

I am wondering what the differences are. I have read certain accounts about how state universities don't hold weight, and how the workload is light - almost too light.

I am hoping to get a few legitimate answers about some of your experiences, and/or information on the subject. What I do know is that certain doctoral programs will not admit applicants if they have degrees from state universities, and I am curious as to how they come to these decisions.



  • Is a 'C' average at an Ivy League University much better than a flawless 'A' average at a State University?

  • Is the State University a weaker load for political reasons (political correctness?), to perhaps meet quotas, etc.?

  • Does the price tag on the private university have to reap benefits for these trust fund babies because they've "invested" in this education?

  • Etc....


Any answers would be obliged. :hatsoff:
