It depends on what your goals are. If you want to work in Alabama it's better to go to Alabama. Nobody wants those Ivy League wierdos to work for them.

Geargia vet school has agreement with SC and Delaware.
Eta the agreement is with the state of SC not just usc. More Clemson undergrads than usc in my experience.

Thanks. I do know ours can go to Georgia much cheaper than to NC State.
Doesn't keep me from wondering, though, with the boom in both states since the 1950s, why Georgia doesn't have two and Carolina one. I mean there are a lot of horses, cows and pets in both states.
And I want it understood, that getting into the UGA Vet school ain't easy. It's very competitive for both our states.

I didn't go to an ivy league school. But I went to a small liberal arts school that is even more selective than some ivies.
The opportunity to be exposed to such a variety of really smart people is invaluable. The school has a very powerful alumni network. I literally have connections in every major industry, and in every major city in the world. You can't replicate that at a state school where your intro level classes are in auditoriums with 200 students.
It's literally not even the same style of education or social environment.

What SEC school is on par with an ivy league education?
quote:
A&M is the closest you will probably ever get from a public institution.
No.
Not even the best as far as networking in your own state.
Agree with the No in the first part of your answer. Florida and Georgia are pretty dang good academic schools too in the SEC. Depending on the ranking system, those three can go in about any order but none are close to the Ivy League.
But completely disagree about the networking comment. Most of my U of Texas friends freely admit the one thing A&M is better at than Texas is the alumni network. They don't even have to be drunk to admit that.

Just thought of another example.
If you wanted to work in timber, uga would be better than yale.
I would bring up journalism as well but journalism is dead.

Vanderbilt is the top academic school in SEC, but it would not be equivalent to Ivy league,
Disaagree,while not Harvard,Yale or Penn,It's academics and acceptance numbers are on par with Brown or Columbia.
Had a cousin who went to Brown and it would be one of my last choices to go to school berween the rest of the Ivies,Stanford,Duke and Vandy

Vet schools expand based on demand for vets. Youd be surprised how little demand there is right now if you arent specialized. Still recovering from great recession. And horse owners are content taking medical advice from their ferrier. And dog owners are content getting their medical advice from their groomers.
Dont expect any of the vet schools to be expanding much any time soon.
Thats part of the reason they are so hard to get into.

I was never able to hire a UGA journalism grad in many years of trying. And I used my love for Georgia every way I could trying to hire.
Several reasons. 1) Nobody, at least in the past, did journalism career day as well as UGA 2) Georgia is a huge state 3) The boom of the suburban papers around Atlanta 4) Nearly all the top chains had a paper in Georgia 5) Cox took its peak of the top students.
And I served three years on the Georgia/South Carolina Editorial Writers Committee,giving me an in."
The forestry major there is outstanding.

Ole Miss ain't even the Harvard of Mississippi, let alone the Harvard of the South or whatever faux-arse pretentious shite they delude themselves with these days.

The short answer is no.
The longer answer is that it depends on what you are going to school for. Someone said this already but networking is the biggest benefit you get at a private school

It comes as no surprise the OP is an LSU fan/probable alumni. 
Pitiful.

Just join the navy seals. They're ability to collect, process and analyze data has been shown to far exceed that of a Harvard graduate.

Lol at aTm aggies
aTm is a diploma mill with a 70% acceptance rate, probably the highest acceptance rate in the SEC
Basically anyone who applies gets in, and it is well known by high schoolers to be a back-up school since everyone who applies gets in
