[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, if you look outside the top 10 schools (but top 50 in the USNews rankings) there will be a higher chance of merit aid.[/quote]

Not worth it.  The good faculty flock to the top schools.  It will be unusual to find good faculty in a program that is not top 10.[/quote]

I don't know what planet you are living on, but it's not Planet Earth.

Every small private school, even the no-name ones, way down on the list, has great faculty. The top 50 schools have faculty with PhDs from all the Ivies, top public universities, top everything. It's almost impossible to get a job in higher education, so you will find the very best educated faculty all over the US in schools that are not selective.

This PP is completely ignorant. The "top" schools are the most selective schools in terms of students, not faculty. Competition for jobs at HYP versus competition for jobs at Grinnel or Babson is nearly as fierce.

You will find fantastic faculty at nearly every college or university in the US, including community colleges. [/quote]
