[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They sit in that odd in-between where they're lesser-known by the general populace, but are incredibly overhyped by those in the know. No one cares about your Williams or Amherst or Swarthmore, and they're slowly but surely becoming increasingly irrelevant in today's higher ed landscape.[/quote] I used to think that until my friend’s kid went to Smith. She breezed through with a 4.0, professors made personal contacts with professors at other institutions and she got into a ton of Ivy league grad programs. His son went to UIUC for CS; he’s busting his butt to get a 3.4. Both of these kids had similar grades/SAT scores from the same HS. The amount of personal attention and connections you can get at a good SLAC really seem to make a difference. Obviously just anecdotal, but something to think about.[/quote]
