[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid ignored the rankings and went to a CTCL college. It was the best decision ever for confidence building and nurturing interest in a field.[/quote] Did your kid really "ignore" the rankings, or did your kid select a CTCL school because s/he couldn't get into a highly ranked school and/or because s/he was offered a lot of merit aid?[/quote] I am not the PP, but this questions keeps coming up. It is like the status-driven just cannot believe that others don't share their world view. MY CHILD TURNED DOWN six other higher ranked schools, all of which offered merit aid, because she preferred a CTCL. You don't get it. I understand. But for God's sake, let people who choose differently go about their business unharassed. [/quote]
