[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having to attend grad school after LAC isn’t the flex you think it is.[/quote]
lol, true! I am always amused when people are like "LACs have the best representations in PhD programs!!!"...umm, that's not the flex you think it is.[/quote]

I don’t think it’s a flex.  It’s just about what you want out of college.  If you want to go to Yale Law or get a Chem PhD from Stanford or get into the Kennedy Schoo l you’re better off with an Amherst degree than a degree from Ohio State or someplace. Not everyone wants to do that and that’s as it should be.  I’m not saying that’s a fun or desirable path in life — but if that is the path you want, then going to Amherst or one of the few SLACs like it is a definite plus.   Not everyone wants the same thing, which is good.  This whole fight started because someone said Amherst is third tier.  That’s just  ignorant.[/quote]

For undergraduate STEM education leading to a job, maybe they were correct.[/quote]
