[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did.  Worked out ok, but sometimes still wish I had gone to the higher ranked school.  That is a function of the fact that I work in law, where some people focus on schools.  That said, I don't think the drop off to UVA is significant.  It is still an excellent school.[/quote]

Similar, but any lack of prestige in my undergrad is made up for by having gone to a highly-ranked law school. I don't know if I would have gotten in to that law school if I had gone to a more prestigious undergrad (maybe my gpa would have been lower, maybe I would not have felt like I had a chance at top law schools, certainly it was less likely that the president of the college would have been one of my recommenders) and I really enjoyed college and made some lifelong friends. OP, your kid has done well and has three great choices, not terribly different in prestige. UVA has a good alum network. [b]You obviously raised a smart and thoughtful person--time to let her choose her own path.[/b][/quote]
