[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]in terms of education rigor, quality of peer group, faculty, campus experience, research opportunities, employment outcome, networks…but just not as prestigious?

Anything in top 50 works.

Was coming here to say this - except I was thinking top 30 LAC and top 30 universities.  It’s really shades of grey across those in terms of academic rigor and quality education - obviously the big names have more well known alum, faculty, and name recognition.

The biggest problem you run into is that if you go to a top 30 or 50 school odds are the HR screener went to a community college.  That person will recognize Harvard but maybe not Bates nor necessarily know that Johns Hopkins or Notre Dame are great school.  In my personal life I basically know no one who didn’t go to a top school.  Professionally, I can 90% of the time tell if someone went to a tier 3-4 school in just brief interactions.

You’ll get a quality education at most of the top 30-50ish, maybe even better depending on major than at the highest ranked schools,  but there are obviously other factors that make those top ranked school more desirable and peerless.  [/quote]
