[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a hard time understanding the gripe about less-than-stellar college placements from St Anselm’s. A previous poster identified that over half of the class is going to irrefutably excellent schools: Chicago, Cornell, Davidson, Wake Forest, Pomona, Navy, Tufts, Colgate, Vassar…and many of the other remaining destinations are quite solid in their own right. Kids from every elite school in the region also attend good schools like Gettysburg, F&M, and UMD. Plus, in many of these cases, students are taking significant merit money, and will sometimes choose the merit money over the bigger name school. St Anselm’s is very challenging academically. There is no grade inflation, and it’s very difficult to earn an A. The students are getting a superior education, and that is true whether they end up with a full ride to a flagship state university or an Ivy.[/quote]

This.  And the last time I checked, there were more Fortune 500 CEOs who graduated from the University of Wisconsin than any other university, including all the Ivies and Stanford.  https://chiefexecutive.net/fortune-500-ceos-wisconsin/

And current trends away from Ivies to southern schools with greater school spirit, stronger sense of community, better job prospects, and less polarization that we are seeing in the "elite" schools.
