[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea, ok, so how many kids do you know who turn down Harvard for Penn State for engineering?

I'll answer:  zero.

Because of all the rankings that don't matter, it's the engineering undergrad rankings.  You go to any one of these schools -- or the next 30 for that matter -- and get through the program, and you'll get a great job.  [/quote]

Alex, I will take "what people who didn't get into a Top Engineering School say" for $200.[/quote]

Dude, you're a serious troll.

In any event, when a poster says "my son has many friends who turned down Ivies for top engineering schools" I don't assume they're wrong.  But I do know that they're weirdos.  I couldn't tell you what schools any of my kids' friends turned down for any of the schools that they went to because nobody cares.  If that's the kind of thing you talk about with your kid, you have a sorry, sad and shallow relationship.  And if that's the kind of thing your kid talks about with his friends, theirs is a sad relationship too.

Huh, my kid is a freshman at college and their friends quite often talked about what schools they applied to in the process especially early on.  Some kids also talk to their parents on occasion and share things.  Strange
 post. [/quote]

I know.  Weird ones.  We have four kids.  They went to very good schools.  They have lot of friends.  There are plenty of interesting things to talk about beyond schools that their friends turned down for college.  It's something that has never come up.  That kind of talk is limited to people with parents who do stuff like post the top 30 schools for engineering . . .   [/quote]

Wait, aren't you the one that came on this thread first to post how going to a top engineering school means nothing?  Not one person on this thread had gone there until you posted.  Can't make it up.  Take a deep breath and go for a nice walk or something.  Fall is beautiful.[/quote]
