[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] My kid picked W&M over UVA for this reason. He is a shy guy and will benefit from the close relationship with advisors and professors (nothing against UVA which is more prestigious and a great match for some - with his personality he just might have had a harder time sinking or swimming there).
