[quote=Anonymous]Everyone gets lost in lala land when staring at the top schools included on these 5 year matriculation lists. Sure the top group is outstanding (and equally good at many top DMV schools), but it's the lesser schools that 60% (majority) of students feed into. Parents always think their child will fall into the top 20% or, worst case scenario, top 40% of the class. STA hand picks smart students, but not all succeed in achieving the top 20% or even 40% of their class. Parents are often disappointed when their child is in the upper middle of the pack (with like a 3.5 for example) or bottom 60% and don't end up at a top 25 school or even a top 50 or 75 or 100 school. After paying almost $50K per year you need to make sure you are happy with your son attending all the schools on this list (and there are a lot), not just the tippy top ones.[/quote]
