Have to hit those diversity numbers
Admissions guy at UT law school told me the worse thing I had going for me was being a white male.

NPR's quality has gone downhill significantly in my lifetime, or academia needs a revival.
Now that I think of it, it's probably the latter.

Most employers are looking at work history and reputation for upper management hires. The university attended was at the bottom of my list when hiring for a top spot.
I agree, I think in the South, SEC degrees carry alot more weight than the directional school degrees trying to get your foot into the door as a new graduate but probably means less once you get into upper management. The only way it would help is if the person pulling the decision to hire you actually went to the same school as you.

Eh, mine went from a 24 to a 32. I got extended time on the reading portion for the second test though(went from 17 to 28). While she isn't as smart as me in math and science, she makes up for it in reading, writing, etc
She wants to do something like work for National Geographic, so she called and asked what they were looking for from a graduate. Their suggestion was to study stuff like anthropology, environmental science, photography, journalism, etc all somewhere she could learn more languages(already on Spanish and French teams). My parents also want her within a day's drive.
After looking at a bunch of places, I suggested TCU. She is unsure if she wants to go to school in Texas again, because she got overwhelmed by the levels Texas students were at compared to what she was learning in New Orleans. Hockaday was much harder than her school here, and from what she has told me, they were about a year ahead of anything she was doing at the time. Eventually, with tutoring, she caught up, but I still think it put a sour taste in her mouth for Texas schools
There are way too many options, most of which don't offer good programs in all of those areas, so it's a toss up right now. Probably gonna take her to visit SMU, TCU, Sewanee, and other places around the south with a good selection of quality programs

in terms of difficulty
asians > whites > hispanics > blacks > others (native americans and those small % populations)

Got rejected from UT undergrad with pretty good stuff all around. Meh, not my luck.
But then a friend of mine told me a Hispanic female friend got in with a 1600ish SAT (out of 2400) and sub 3.0 GPA.
Being Asian makes it a pain to match stereotypes.
