[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly I think that true safeties are probably not appealing to many kids from this area.  Lots of good schools out there.[/quote]

I did a ton of the research for my daughter and found any number of very interesting options across the entire country. There were several non-flagship public universities on the west coast that we liked quite a bit. She wound up applying to one of the directional MI schools sight unseen. In the end, she went to a tiny lac no one on this board has ever heard of.

Schools do exist outside the T50. Lots of them. This process really opened my eyes to some really cool opportunities. I have a second child who is quite a bit younger and i can’t wait to discover even more schools no one here has heard of.[/quote]

I did the same thing. My kid loved all the schools not one talks about, and they have some really amazing programs and access to tenured professors. The job placement results are also great, and I feel bad for people who mistakenly assume that if you aren't at a "top school" you will never have success in life. It's such a sad and ridiculous mindset.  [/quote]
