[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. I had posted in the thread from last year that there are really about 45-50 "top" schools, mostly covered in this thread. The idea that any one is "better" for an undergrad from a curricular experience standpoint is trash. they are all good schools and cover roughly the same topics. Things that differ: specific research opportunities, setting, size/geography - ie mostly personal lifestyle options having nothing to do with school name or "prestige" but rather, would you rather be in Boston or Palo Alto, if you were given the choice?[/quote] I don’t quite agree. I think there can be big differences between undergrad education experiences but the big fallacy on this board is to conflate good research universities with good undergrad education. There was a poster whose kid only looked at R1 schools because he wanted to do research as an undergrad when his chances would probably be better at a SLAC. [/quote]
