[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been a long time lurker on DCUM and I have to say the college talk is really starting to scare me. Do people really believe that of the over 2000 colleges in America you can only go to 30 or so places? ... We just don't believe that top schools are the only choice, its just not that serious. Are we alone in thinking this way? [/quote]

Nobody thinks their kid's life is ruined if their kid doesn't get into a top 10 or 30 or whatever. But those top schools have very generous financial aid and are 100% full of the most talented students in the world. So, ethos which promotes dreaming big, connections for life and great dating pool. And no doors are closed with regard to best job offers. If the kid heads to a less prestigious school, the financial aid is shittier, there are many untalented kids there, there's more risk. The network and dating pool is hit or miss. Doors are absolutely closed. It's not THAT dramatic, but there are very distinct differences. Period.[/quote]

Hahaha!  I hope this is sarcasm. Sometimes it’s hard to tell on dcum. [/quote]

The data pool was a nice touch.  No shortage of post-Ivy twenty-somethings on Tinder.[/quote]

Yes, and everything people say on Tinder is correct.
The Ivy League schools actually have their own social meeting and dating sites in most major cities. 
They have organized social events for young adult graduates to get together and mingle. [/quote]
