re: Most Academically Improved SEC Schools

Outside of a specialized program a school may be known for, most schools are not considered that much better than the next outside of a region. I live within 30 minutes of UNC, Duke, and NC State and a little over an hour from Wake Forest and very few times do I hear any mention of how great other schools outside of the area are by companies hiring. I hear more about AU than any school out of the SEC around here due to their architecture school or people talking about their vet program comparing to NC State and UGA is brought up as well. You hear about Vandy law school in comparison to Duke or UNC.

IN the end the only time I think where you get your degree will matter is if want to relocate to a specific area and that school gives an advantage for placement.
