[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a kid who goes to the 400th best school can be just as successful as someone who went to a top 30 school. pay no attention to rankings, go where they are happy and enjoy it. The rest will all play out. one of my favorite sayings: I know a homeless guy with a harvard degree and a college dropout that lives in a mansion. [/quote] I agree with this with a slight caveat. If my kid got into an Ivy-like (say top 15-ish) school, I might say it's worth being unhappy (if it's tolerable) for the connections that people speak of that come from those schools. However, after those schools, I really don't think it matters if a kid goes to BU, Tulane, Wisconsin, Delaware, JMU, Podunk community college, whatever. At that point, go where you think you'll be happy and get the most for your coin.[/quote]
