[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the claim is overstated but there may be some truth to it. And much of that truth comes from test optional policies. Schools used to be in clearer bands by SAT. Now it's, oh we have a 1470 average but only thirty percent submitting. It's all mystery meat. We lose differentiation and things start to slip all over the place.

Schools below the T20 will continue to have regional brands (BC for Boston, USC for LA) or specialty majors (Georgetown for IR) but he may be on to something that the days of general national reputation are behind us for most schools.

The napkin diagram is alarmist BS though. "Source: just trust me bro."[/quote]

+1. We also questioned the value of schools outside the T20/30 when crafting DC’s college list. Ultimately, she only applied to T20 and affordable state flagships. The mid tiers just did not have the ROI to justify $80k per year. She was accepted to a T10 but would been happy at a flagship.[/quote]

Tell the truth, she goes to Towson[/quote]
