[quote=Anonymous]There are schools most of you have not heard of that are excellent. What really makes an excellent school? EVERY school is pretty much known for specific programs and some have more tenured professors teaching courses than others. Some are prettier and have nicer dorms, some have amazing student unions while others are known for their posh surroundings and city life. It goes on...a school is what you make of it...we as a culture are way to wrapped up in the name brands. I went to Harvey Mudd most people look at me like I have 2 heads when I say it. Yet it took my 1420 SAT score and waitlisted me! I got in eventually had a fantastic experience and landed a fantastic job that jumpstarted my career. I never got too hung up on the name brands, if I did I would have attended either Yale or Penn both which I got into.

All the "Little Ivy" schools mentioned above are great schools. Look into what YOU want to study to see if that school is a good fit and dont' be afraid to think outside the box...most don't.[/quote]
