[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title says it, but if I hear things like "My kid didn't go to an ivy and he turned out fine, he went to Duke undergrad and Stanford for an MBA." OBVIOUSLY that doesn't count if you're including two very prestigious schools that are better than most of the ivy league. I'm talking about going to regular schools (not top privates or flagship state schools) and having a great career. Thanks![/quote]

In the Detroit area there are a lot of immigrants from many different countries. Many prefer to live with parents throughout their undergrad years.

We know multiple kids who went to Wayne State University (decent college in Detroit) and then on to one of the many med schools in the state or to pharmacy school. These families couldn’t care less about the eliteness of their undergrad schools, they just study hard, get good grades, & end up doing very well.

Also common for students to attend unglamorous local engineering schools (eg, Lawrence Tech, U of Michigan-Dearborn) & get lucrative jobs in the auto industry. [/quote]
