TB, McD's, and WF are not even in the same league with Chick-Fil-A. Arby's (at least here, anyway) is my next favorite place after Chick-Fil-A.

I could go for some chicken.

Last night I was playing chess against a user by the name of KennyRogers. I told him I just dropped in to see what condition his chicken was in.

He didn't have nice things to say in return.

Apparently not.

But his wife probably just recently left him with four hungry kids and a crop in the field.

I wouldn't call my statement "stupid". Florida State was for many years considered a party school with very little in the way of academics. It may have changed recently. That I don't know.
So you not knowing anything about FSU and spouting off isn't stupid? I don't insult people that go to schools I don't know anything about.

Quote :
It certain isn't a top tier level school.
According to your beloved US News and World Report, they are.
Plus, FSU is a huge school research-wise. No, it's not Ivy League level, but I don't know anyone that goes to/went to an Ivy school that isn't a stuck up snob. And I know plenty that did.

Quote :
Refresh my aged memory again. What major?
Meteorology. Top 5 schools are Penn State, Oklahoma, FSU, Colorado State, and I want to say that #5 is Northern Illinois.
I've never seen an "official" ranking though. Unlike Bio or Business or stuff like that, Meteorology is nowhere near as popular. Penn State, FSU, and Oklahoma are the Top 3 though consistently.

I've never heard of Webometric rankings, but that could just be because I'm old.
Neither have I, but FSU was damn proud of them on their site Dontknow

Quote :
I thought the standard was US News and World Report [rankingsandreviews.com] but perhaps that's changed.
FSU's ranked #102, and Top 10 of schools with a Meterology program. It's also listed as "Tier 1" according to them.

Interesting tidbit: A school does not need to be ranked amazing overall to have an amazing program in one area. UCLA's ranked really high but I've never heard of their Meteorology program mentioned as being anywhere near as good as PSU's. Dontknow
Then again, I'd never heard of OU having a good Met program and they're apparently Top 3. Dontknow

Oh, and only 1 Ivy League school has a Met program: Cornell. And like UCLA, I've never heard anything astounding of their Met program.

I kinda wish I had the booklet that I got when I toured campus last year. It had a list of people from FSU's Meteorology program that were pretty big nationally.

As I said:

I did know. Has it possibly changed since that time? It could have. It wasn't an insult. It was a statement of my experience which could possibly be dated.

I don't have an issue admitting I could have possibly erred on its recent reputation. It absolutely for certain wasn't always the case.

But here's an interesting tidbit.

I seem to recall you mentioning your grades aren't exactly at the top end of the spectrum and I know I've read at least a post or two where you've sloughed off a lot of the importance of academic performance on tests, homework, etc.

What will your performance at "this school" wherever it may be ranked say about your ability and your work ethic?

All the rankings and other mostly useless information aside, that's going to matter more to a potential employer.
