When I went to Weber Catholic HS in Chicago a long time ago, DePaul was the college to go to as a last resort, after you couldn't get into Loyola.

It's always been second rate, they have a very limited graduate school also, no medical or dental school.

The justification for attending DePaul was always "It's better than no college".

Very little prestige and obviously no honor.

Well poo to that.

In the end, a college depends on what the student puts forth. I went to a grand undergraduate school and learned nothing. And returned there for a masters...applied myself...and pulled a splendid career out of it.

Look inward for blame and you'll find plenty of good candidates. Look outward...and you'll never grow.

Ergo...grow up and stop blaming others.

I believe the state schools like NIU, Western and SIU were the last resort. DePaul is still a private school and you still need a decent gpa and test scores to get in. At least you did 15 years ago. Now all one probably needs is a checkbook and a liberal mindset.
