[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CTCL schools aren't worth anything close to sticker price. But if you're good enough to get a lot of merit aid from them, you can get into a much better college that actually has a name. Therein lies the rub. [/quote] The prestige obsession on here really bothers me. A lesser known school may be a fantastic fit for a student and the environment and supports may help a student graduate that wouldn’t or do better than they would have. This craziness over rank causes so many problems and so much anxiety with our students. Honestly, from an employer’s perspective, there is not much difference between a school ranked at 50 and a school ranked at 80. I hire at work for good jobs (many entry level). I am not concerned where someone went as long as they have a decent GPA and got the degree. I do look askance at for profit and fully online programs.[/quote]
