[quote=Anonymous]There have been multiple studies on the Ivy -plus schools (defined as ivy ,MIT, Duke, Stanford, &Chicago in these studies) that showed benefit to these schools for reaching the top-level of some careers. The next group down(Washu, Hopkins, Norhtwestern, UVa, Vanderbilt, GTown, Rice, Berkeley and more) have shown some benefit as well, especially when digging into top law and top med admissions. Mid tier law and med does not have the same preferential treatment of undergrad prestige. There is phD feeder data that shows an overlapping but slightly different group of schools as important(many LACs do well here). Current rankings do not take into account student quality or class size and faculty quality. You have to use the various studies to find lists, then pick a school where your student is likely to be able to deal effectively with the competition yet still be pushed, its a balance if you will [/quote]
