[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just have a jr but we see this choice developing. There’s a school ranked around 100 that we all think might be a good fit socially for DS who is a bit of a late bloomer socially. It also is well known for a program that he’s interested in. It’s smaller so people often won’t have heard of it, while we don’t know how things will shake out DS is likely to be accepted to not top ranked schools, but schools in the 20-50 range. It’s a dilemma - as a parent I’m trying to really tamp down on the need for prestige, etc… but DS wonders if his earning potential, career options will be affected and those are reasonable considerations. We have more time but are thinking this through. [/quote] Prestige should not be a deciding factor. Ability to grow, learn, and be recruited for a desirable job should be of more concern.[/quote]
