[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a professor at one of these smaller, "nothing" colleges.  As a PP said above, I have the vaunted top IVY+ credentials that so many parents dream about, and feel lucky to have my teaching job.  I love our students, who are in general B students, and think we do a great job in educating them and preparing them for the world.  My own child will likely go to one of these schools.  Once you get over the ego/bragging rights, these schools are great, trust me, and eminently affordable--we give LOTS of scholarships, merit and financial.  [/quote]

We've been touring those *kinds* of schools. 3.2 UW, 1140 SAT, 3.7 W GPA. IB and AP classes.

I want our kid at one of those schools because I think they will allow the time and space for them to grow up and learn more things. Like many kids with those kinds of scores, ours is unbalanced: fantastic at some things, terrible at others. (The SAT score has a is wildly uneven split.) That doesn't mean they'd do well in community college, in fact I think they would not, they'd be bored to tears.

They need a school that will play to their strengths and not make them just another number. [/quote]
