[quote=Anonymous]College matters to the trajectory of many people's lives.  I would not be who I am today or who I have been without the college I went to.  It formed my life.  My growth there was off the charts.  I had great experiences.  So it matters a lot.  But could I have received the same experience and grown the same maybe not in the same way but with the same stuff at another college.  Yes I am certain of that.  I went to a top 30 school.  Could I have replicated that at peer schools or schools ranked above -- yes at some.  I never looked but I bet I could have.  Could I have gone lower and the same.  Yes I am sure that is true.

What is not true is that you can go anywhere and be launched in the same way.  To me the goal in picking where to go is to find that place where you ---you ---- will be launched like that.

My like romantic interests, there is not only one right person for you out there in the world.  But there may only be a few hundred or thousand depending.

Pick the schools that will do this.  [/quote]
