[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD is highly respected. Say if your DC ended up at JMU, would they fare the same?[/quote] I have experience teaching in higher ed as well as attending myself and having kids who do. Those who are at lower ranked schools can do well, but opportunities are fewer and depend more on being at the top of the class. No one knows going in where they will be in a class.[b] Employers flock to the higher ranked schools and nearly all in the class get good jobs. Not the case at lower ranked schools.[/b] [/quote] The only kids getting jobs at GS or McKinsey from the Ivies are top of the class too. My kid is at an Ivy and they all know that they need a 4.0 or close to it in a hard major (math, etc) by fall of sophomore year to have a chance at interning at GS, etc. It's become very, very competitive.
