[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spending a week doing college tours with my rising junior. Honestly, I’m unsure of differences between SLAC and a public uni other than size. [b]A BA from HYPS (all slacs)[/ or even a school like Williams//Amherst/Pamona vs a BA from a state school - the BA from the SLACS are likely more prestigious (with possible exceptions of UC Berkeley/UCLA/UMich/UVA in some cases) And in terms of post grad income, depends on major, job or research experience, and grad degree (if any) more than the school itself. & to get the job / research experience in college, that depends on opportunity while at school which is based on location and which employers recruit on campus and what faculty are doing research. For some state U vs SLAC match ups the SLAC is better. For others it’s the state U or engineering school. So it’s very silly to say all SLACS are useless.
