[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quality of the peer group is vastly different vs. non T20 IMO. [/quote] With holistic admissions and current preferences for athletes, first gen and pell grant eligible, this is not true, Lots if kids at T50 or even T75 who have stats for T20 but didn’t get in due to the aforementioned preferences, were hurt by average ecs, or college’s desire for geographical diversity.[/quote] The issue is do these kids ever get the jobs at Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, McKinsey, Bain in the numbers - on a per capita basis - compared to the top 25 schools? The answer is they don’t. At least not yet. Maybe that will change in the next decade. [/quote] I would be extremely disappointed if my kids ended up at a Goldman or a Blackstone, etc., so I'd say opinions differ about the "quality" of a peer group that is gunning in that direction. [/quote] It is not just Goldman, Jane St, et al, it is better law schools(T14 matters for many goals), top research med schools(T25 research based med schools feed into top residencies: heads of departments in academic medicine come from T20 med disproportionally), and on and on. There are kids who are top intellect with big dreams who want all the doors open to the top of their field: elite universities and selective LACs open more doors. It CAN be done sometimes from the good flagships, but it is a much harder and rarer path. [/quote]
