[quote=Anonymous]The main snobbery over schools that I've encountered is on DCUM rather than in real life. That said, I went to a fairly well regarded Midwestern state school and was a bit overwhelmed when I first got to DC and found most of my colleagues went to Ivies. I thought that I should aim really high for grad school to catch up, but then got a free ride at another well regarded Midwestern state university, so decided on that. And 25 years later? I have a good career, maybe not as high-powered as some in the area, but it's rewarding and challenging. My DD has some learning disabilities, and she is applying to decidedly "non-prestigious" colleges this fall. And I think she will do just fine.[/quote]
