[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of schools that were considered "sub-par" back when I was in college are considered really great now, and have become tough to get into.  That includes schools that previously were essential regional and now draw nationally.

You haven't had a child go through the process yourself.  When you do you'll see its nothing like it was for us.[/quote]

Thank you! I think this helps bridge the disparity between my out of date knowledge and the recommendations.

I will say I think the college counselor that my best friend hired WAS giving bad advice, I helped my friend research the schools she recommended and there was no merit in her suggestions.  They paid the consultant $5000 up front and the only thing commonality was that they paid for trips for the consultant to visit with her family.

I understand the phenomenon of the "liberal arts bubble" but the kids that I know did not have specific interests,  they were more "undecided" and the school tuition's were just crazy high.  [/quote]
