[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PhD? Parents are worried about getting their kid in a T25 undergrad.[/quote] I know it's hard for you to fathom this, but not everyone shares your goals, priorities, and values. Many families (most, actually) don't even look at T25 schools. Even if they have smart, academically focused kids. Donut hole families view them as too expensive. Many kids are not interested in that level of academic intensity and competition. Since those schools are concentrated on the coast, people in other parts of the country often prefer schools closer to home. And many families also look at the admission rates and recognize many qualified applicants are rejected, and therefore choose not to pin their hopes on being one of the few who get admitted, even if they apply.[/quote]
