[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who worked in admissions at UC Berkeley, who highly recommended that DC look at CTCL schools ([b]even though DC had the states for UCB).[/b]  He really felt the quality of the education was excellent and for students like my introverted DC, the environment is excellent.  DC ended up at a similarly nurturing LAC for other reasons.  My other DC will most likely end up at a CTCL.[/quote]

It's one thing to say he had the stats.  It's another thing to say he actually applied, got in, and turned it down.  Which we both know he didn't.[/quote]

What is wrong with you? It happens! I had the stats and was admitted to Cornell, Vassar, and a handful of other “brand name” colleges and I choose my school bc it was a better fit.

Also, some people harp on exorbitant costs, but my CTLC is a public institution. [/quote]

After a pressurized HS career, my high stats DD didn't want to be surrounded by "Type A's" at a name brand school, so she chose to be a big fish in a small pond at a CTCL-like college. Very happy there, lots of opportunities.[/quote]

Stop coddling your kid. The global economy is competitive. They have to learn to compete and will continue to compete for the rest of their lives. [/quote]

I'm an employer and I've long ago decided not to hire kids from SLACs (except for the top few).[/quote]

Hilarious!  I actually worked for a global company that removed the college names from resumes (you could still see grade point and major, etc.)

The idea was to prevent cronyism and preference to your alma mater.  I left a couple years ago, so I’m not sure how successful it has been.  College name was never a big deciding factor on our team.  We did hire someone with a degree from Harvard (it was actually Harvard Extension) but he flamed out pretty quickly.  (I don’t judge all Harvard Grad la by one Harvard Extension alum).[/quote]
