[quote=Anonymous]OP, My son will start a SLAC in the fall. Your son will likely really have a stronger sense of where he wants to go after your campus visits. He should, if he really knows where he wants to attend as you approach the final leg of the application process, discuss the pro's and con's of Early Decision. I do not understand the culture's obsession with Ivies. I just don't. What matters out in the world is not the degree, but the combination of skills and likability and luck along the way. I've been underwhelmed by some Ivy colleagues. In fact some of the most impressive people I've met as an adult are folks who did SLAC undergrad then Ivy grad. What I detest is Ivy snobbery among some Ivy alum -- emphasis on some. It can be insidious. [/quote]
