[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is a help to me as a parent of a high schooler. (Well, except for the PPs who seem so invested in insisting that the girl must be lying about her acceptances--[b]sour grapes, maybe?[/b]) We've always told our DD that when the time comes for college, she needs to choose the place that has the academic programs she needs and wants, and not to worry about "name brands" just for the sake of the name. Hearing the great things on here about LACs like Pomona just reinforces that. And I have worked in HR and can say that employers will not be asking this girl during job interviews, "Why did you turn down Stanford? What was wrong with Yale?" because that will not be on her resume or job applications. No one will know or care what she turned down when she was 18 years old, but they'll care how she used the time she did have at her college of choice. [/quote] yes, maybe... or maybe you don't know what college admission process is like. [/quote]
