[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just talking with DH about our D’s decision to ED to a SLAC rather than apply to DH’s alma mater ivy and other T10’s, which she was competitive for but didn’t feel drawn to. My take was, “Cool that she had the self-possession to look beyond prestige and make a choice based on other things she values.” His take, while fully supporting our D’s choice, was that the lifetime of doors that spring open once you have that ivy on your resume is a perk that’s well worth a less-than-ideal undergrad experience. He didn’t love his four years of undergrad, but says he would do it again in a heartbeat knowing the advantages his choice has since conferred. Hard to sell this viewpoint to a teenager though, so we’re now team LAC all the way.[/quote] I'm assuming that it is a top SLAC. If so, she'll be just fine as they open any door that an Ivy opens.[/quote]
