[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean where an average kid won’t be bottom of class? Any school below T100. Anything above that will still have students trying to go to med school, law school, etc.[/quote]

WHAT? You are so tone deaf. Only a striver mom would say that schools below the top 100 don’t have students trying to go to med school, law school, etc.!! These are schools like Auburn, Loyola Marymount, Temple, University of Missouri, BYU, University of Tennessee, University of Arizona, University of South Carolina, VCU, JMU, University of Iowa, Elon, SDSU, University of Vermont, University of Alabama. All ranked below 100 and filled with smart kids aiming for law school and med school. [/quote]

I live in the South and know many happy, successful professionals who have gone to Auburn, Sewanee, Alabama, USC, UTK, and lesser-known regional colleges! Unless you’re planning on teaching at Yale, working at Goldman Sachs or clerking for the Supreme Court, it really doesn’t matter. [/quote]

100% true. Immigrants and FGLI families don’t get this though. [/quote]

Is it any coincidence that the schools without a lot of “immigrants” (read:Asians) would be the ones you cite?

Schools full of nice white kids who can have their ideal college experience without those Asians and poor people getting in the way [/quote]
