[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look beyond the T15. I don't see a big difference in perception between the top 20 publics and the next 20 privates. Beyond the T15, publics and privates are in a roughly one-to-one ratio in terms of prestige and perception. The following two groups of schools are very comparable

University of California, Berkeley, University of Virginia, College of William and Mary, United States Military Academy at West Point, United States Naval Academy, University of Michigan, University of California, Los Angeles, Georgia Institute of Technology, Cornell University public parts, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Texas at Austin, University of Washington, University of Wisconsin—Madison, University of Maryland, College Park, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of California, San Diego, University of California, Santa Barbara, University of Florida, University of Pittsburgh, Colorado School of Mines

Columbia University, Cornell University private parts, University of Notre Dame, Carnegie Mellon University, Emory University, Georgetown University, New York University, University of Southern California, Wake Forest University, Tufts University, University of Rochester, Boston University, Brandeis University, Case Western Reserve University, Northeastern University, Tulane University, Lehigh University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Villanova University, Pepperdine University[/quote]

We have a kid at W&M. The level of work, the amount of engagement with professors, and the lectures our DC describes are simply outstanding. We are so impressed. Kid also got into big state schools. Only reason they're at W&M is because that's a better fit in terms of personality, but classmates who went to those bigger schools appear just as happy.[/quote]
