[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to be mean, but there are first-tier and lower-tier schools. Doesn't mean a lower ranked school won't be a good fit or the student might not be happy. We can't all go to the top ranked schools.[/quote] PP here (happened to be online just as you posted!). I agree that in reality that's the case, having myself gone to what I'd consider a 2nd or 3rd tier undergrad but 1st tier law school. I'm just encouraging the mom to think of it and phrase it more as "I have a bright child with a good but not great GPA, who think he might want to study engineering. We're interested in large-sized state schools/small liberal arts colleges/whatever. Any suggestions?" You're right, it's probably just semantics, just in the pressure cooker of this area, I hope that OP and her family aren't feeling like also-rans because he's headed to Virginia Commonweath University rather than W&M.[/quote]
