[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to W&M which is considered lower prestige on the national stage. The relationships I developed there propelled my career. I still talk to many of my professors 15+ years out -- they helped me get my first job, go to any ivy grad school, etc. I have friends in more prestigious colleges that struggled in the job hunt and had no relationship with their professors or the TAs that taught them. Obviously YMMV but I think advisement and the quality of professors is a HUGE factor in success[/quote] Everyone who knows W&M in detail and has experienced ivies recognizes that the former is basically an ivy as far as smaller yet very challenging classes, outstanding caring professors and opportunities for the taking from which all undergrads benefit.
