[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's sad to think that OP represents a number of people on social media.

My D is a current junior going through the recruiting process and will likely end up at a D3 ranked somewhere around 25th in the country (think Bryn Mawr, Colorado College etc).[/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]Heck, if 'crummy D3' includes Brandeis, CalTech, CMU, Case, Emory, Grinnell, Haverford and Hopkins, I guess it can't be so bad :-).[/quote]

Colorado College and Case Western Reserve and others name-checked obviously are not in the awful, unrecognizable column. I'm skittish about naming examples for fear of offending anyone. Generally, unranked on US News, very small endowment, unimpressive admissions and outcomes—and I'm sure if you got into the weeds, Moody's probably thinks their long-term viability is dire. Also, public universities that are more regional, possibly lots of commuters, very low if not non-existent admissions bar, very low graduation rates, dismal salaries on US Gov Scorecard.[/quote]
