[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see why she'd want what she's asking for.  E.g. you don't know if schools that aren't respected locally (where people may actually have a fair amount of experience working with grads or encountering the in other settings) are being marketed nationally to publics that, in the absence of any meaningful experience, might be more influenced by hype.

It's like wondering whether the restaurant being recommended is a neighborhood gem or tourist trap.[/quote]

So she wants to go on Chicago Urban Moms and ask if they will still respect her kid if he goes to GMU or UNC?  She wants to go on LA Urban Moms and ask if they will respect her kid if he goes to Iowa State?  Why would this be better than just asking on College Confidential?[/quote]

No, she wants to go to Chicago Urban Moms and ask if they'll respect her kid if s/he goes to Wash U or Kenyon or Marquette.  Or to ask LA Urban moms how they'd compare job applicants from UCSB vs. USC.  [/quote]

Once again. Her kid can only attend ONE college. So if she's interested in SEVERAL different job markets, she needs a NATIONAL perspective.[/quote]
