[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Selectivity ≠ quality How many kids whose dream school is Michigan really will hit the academic (or social or whatever) ceiling at Kansas (admit rate >90%)? 1%? 5%? Surely not 10%. Same is true for Williams rejects at St. Lawrence (admit rate almost 50%) or Whitman (admit rate >50%). Or Vandy rejects at Miami of Ohio (admit rate >90%). Or Carleton rejects at Wooster (admit rate >60%). Etc., etc., etc. Kids (and especially their parents!) just need to recognize that they can be admitted to a school that will fit them and offer a great education--and get over that it might not appear on the first page of some ridiculous "ranking" list.[/quote] +1m My kids had acceptances from two of those lower ranked schools you listed with huge $ and would’ve been happy to go. Ended up getting into their top choice so didn’t but you can’t have an attitude about the rankings. Those are all solid schools you listed.[/quote]
