[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it makes a difference if you go to a tippy top school. Other than that, the next T50 don’t matter as much. The difference between a school like Tufts or Vanderbilt, say, is negligible even though Vandy is higher ranked. They are both great schools.

I there is another difference once you start past the T100 school. You may have more opportunities graduating from Emory than Appalachian, for instance.

But if you are talking T15-T50, it makes no difference.[/quote]

You didn't understand my post at all.  How old are your kids?[/quote]

What are you talking about? The pp is spot on. [/quote]

Sigh.  I give up.  Clearly you're still in the midst of all of this.  Y'all can just go ahead and split hairs between schools and tiers like you always do.  As I said, I should have known I was preaching to the wrong crowd.

I'm out.  [/quote]

I'm with OP. Those of us who let our kids choose colleges based on fit, without concern for prestige, will just sit back and wonder at the kids obsessing over ten SAT points of not having the right ECs while their parents breathe down their necks.[/quote]

People like you ooze mediocrity .[/quote]

Arrogant people like you are what make so-called elite schools (and their boosters) insufferable.[/quote]
