[quote=Anonymous]We do not have a forced rank system in this country. We do not have a real, legitimate hierarchy of colleges, and we do not have a straight up system of ranking every single kid in this enormous, diverse country. Too many people seem to believe otherwise, and it is a toxic falsehood. There is no such thing as a top school or a top kid. There are many, many excellent schools, and many, many academically strong students at every college. Students choose schools for a huge variety of very good reasons reasons. Colleges choose students for a wide variety of very good reasons (unrelated to what you might think is the best reason). Perhaps the worst reason to choose a school is its perceived rank or prestige. Grow where you are planted. The garden is gigantic with an enormous variety of vital plants, and there isn't one best flower. [/quote]
