[quote=Anonymous]I too find the question odd. The implication seems to be that for Big 3 grads, either (a) only pre-professional degrees will do, maybe Wharton undergrad for business, or MIT for STEM, or (b) only Ivies or Stanford will do. Yet, there are many very happy Big 3 grads at the top and even 2nd-tier SLACs. It's not "go big or go home" at all. The reason is that the teaching quality at these SLACs is just as good at the Ivies, sometimes better, depending on the subject or the Ivy. Plus, the SLACs have a much wider range of liberal arts offerings than even the Big 3 can offer. I have no dog in this fight because my kid is at an Ivy. But I'm happy to acknowledge that the SLACs provide great educations even for the for kids who were challenged in great private schools. The choice comes down to preferences about college size and location, among other things.[/quote]
