[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't you know what kid of student your kid is? Take a look a the classes they're taking, how they're doing, how it compares to the rigor of the other kids. How have they distinguished themselves outside of the classroom? I think you know where your kid belongs. If it makes you feel better, apply to some Ivies, too.[/quote]

Sure, college rankings are “obvious” now, and perhaps Ivies will always be tops, but over the years there has been a lot of movement for schools ranked lower, especially 30-100. How will potential students understand these changes 10-15 years from now without some objective measures?  [/quote]

Maybe they don’t need one since most colleges are great places and they can pick on personal criteria and not rankings, which are always subjective anyway.

Maybe the whole process would be better and easier and less stressful and more rewarding and more successful without this artificial meaningless rat race based on numbers from unrelated categories.[/quote]
