The point is “T20”‘is dumb to begin with. One T20 is another’s Top 50. Everyone knows the top schools in this country. Don’t need a random publication list to know

Ha! Every college is life changing!

Some places are more likely to be life changing, bump up post-grad opportunities. That is 100% true. Of course Ivies are life changing.

But Honors college at UMD was life changing for DS.

the quality of student is T30/35. While Emory, Georgetown are technically T25, but quality of student is T20.

This is what hurts donut hole families too. For parents make 300-400K, college is not life changing. And full pay takes most of their savings. Dam it.

Students in any college fit in some normal distributions. It depends on which percentile you are looking at. Don't compare 25 percentile from one to 75 percentile from another one.

So basically conceding that there’s a ton of overlap.

Not sure about Georgetown, but Emory admits a crazy almost 40% without test scores. I wonder what the average is there? Hmmm
