[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Harvard. If my kid gets into a top 50, I will be thrilled. If not, there are many good options. We have all worked with hugely competent people who went to the State U nearest their childhood home. I have told my kid, though, that working hard in high school increases the number of options you have. I have taught at a few universities, and it isn't the case that, "Freshman bio is the same everywhere." I think you want to look for places that teach the topics at the end of the textbooks, that require written papers and not just debates or presentations, and that have a freshman writing program that gives frequent, low-stakes feedback. You want the faculty to have their PhDs from a diversity of places, because nepotism in hiring can fly under the radar. (Oh, the stories...) Someone in the Math Dept. doing research on math education is also a good sign.[/quote] Amazing insight here - thank you.[/quote]
