[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

So true.  USC in my home state was once a joke = University of Spoiled Children.  Now supposedly a hot SLAC.  My own college is so selective I probably couldn't get in it today.  Chapman College in Orange County, CA?  Who would have thunk?[/quote]

USC is hot and selective, but it's not an SLAC, it's a university.[/quote]

USC is one of, if not THE, largest private colleges in the world. Something like 40,000 students (including grad).  It is not an SLAC in any sense of the word.  The school is a favorite for those who can't get into the comparable (but much less expensive) large state schools including UCLA, Michigan, Wisconsin and Penn State.  It is much like these schools than any SLAC or even mid-size private school. [/quote]
