[quote=Anonymous]First, focus on major. There are a bunch of useless non rigorous majors at universities today that will barely get you into a $15/hr job after you graduate from any school. Avoid these majors Second, pay close attention to prestige and Grade inflation if you want to keep options of grad school open. One without the other is useless. In my mind, the reason you choose HYS over all other schools is not the quality of education. It's because they throw out A's like candies. They have so dramatically watered down their grading policies that I personally have lost all respect for the quality of their students on average. Their education is not any better, In many cases it's worse, but till the broader market catches on, a 3.8 from HYS is a lot more valuable than a hard fought 3.4 from a State flagship, even though you may have received a better education at the state flagship.
