[Anonymous]

Princeton Review did a massive survey around the country of parents’ dream schools for their kids:

1. MIT
2. Princeton
3. Harvard
4. Stanford
5. Duke
6. UMich
7. Yale
8. NYU
9. Cornell
10. Brown

How does this compare to the thoughts in your households?

Michigan seems like such an awful place. There’s a reason celebrity kids transfer out.

T10 academics + weather + school spirit + strong alumni network. Definitely a dream outcome.

And yet, the kids there this year have probably had one of the best collegiate experiences in recent memory.

Weird list. I don’t think I’ve ever known someone irl that had MIT as their dream school. I mean great school for a kid who’s a good fit. But those are unique kids.

Huh? Pretty much any serious STEM parent will have MIT as the dream school.
