Curiously, we visited a number of these, and my son ultimately attended two of them, and was accepted by several others on their list...

While people might disagree about the ranking of one university above another on the scale, lists like this can be a useful tool when it comes to enlarging a prospective student's "vision" and giving them "food for thought," beyond the Ivy League schools. Good educations can be obtained, and successful careers can be achieved, even from less well-known institutions.

NJIT is a great school from everything i've heard about it. Same with Seton Hall. Also, Stevens (My uncle went there, now earns quite a bit of money - and has invented a few things that got him a nice amount of money).

Though I wouldn't exactly call Rutgers underrated (at least here in NJ).

Below is a great article by Valerie Strauss, who runs the Answer Sheet blog on education topics, in which she highlights a recent publication by Brennan Barnard, who is the director of college counseling at the Derryfield School, a private college preparatory day school for grades 6-12. He talks about how he would prefer college admissions to be, and mentions the CTCL's (Colleges That Change Lives) but he makes it clear that almost any college can change a student's life, NOT just Ivy League or highly selective schools. He says could fill a book with stories of students who attended institutions with admit rates of 50 percent or above who went on to lead fulfilling and successful lives in lucrative jobs that they loved.
