WSU is a research institution with an urban mission. They excel in research. That has more bearing on graduate students than undergrads. Of course, undergrads in a lot of fields seem to have a lot of success after graduating from WSU, in spite of the conflicting mission in a city with horrible K-12s.
But then, you're talking about the value of an undergrad degree. It's 2013. That's long been the new high school degree. You also seem to have absolutely no idea of how Higher Ed works. Do they not explain that in your MFA program?
