[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally understand the hard situation nowadays because of the economy, job market and AI. It is even hard for students in humanities and social sciences. If my kids were interested in STEm, I would definitely put state flagship as the top or probably only option. Why waste money?  But for humanities and social sciences, it used to commonly believed that school ranking, reputation, or connections are very important.

For donut hole families, if your kids are going to study humanities or social sciences, do you think it is worthwhile to pay private colleges, such as Top20 or LAC? [/quote]

Outside HYPMS, it's better to focus on excellence by major.  Overall ranking doesn't make sense any more outside T5.

[b]Premed goes to premed schools.  [/b]
Engineering goes to tech schools.  
Finance goes to ivy and plus.
Humanities goes to schools strong in that particular major.  Many are prelaw, so ROI is not necessarily bad.  Yes, it may be worth it.[/quote]

Exactly what is a premed school?[/quote]

Well known ones are Case Reserve, Pitts, Pen state, …[/quote]

you should never go to these for premed if you get into any of the T15/ivy with a med school on or close to campus. The latter are much better for premed.[/quote]
