[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your child picturing them self going to grad school? Because frankly getting near straight A’s in college from any top 200 college/university in the country will lead to far better grad school opportunities, then going to a higher ranked undergrad school but graduating with a 3.0 from there and then trying to apply to grad school. people I know who graduated from Harvard law went to undergrad schools that you and the fellow people posting here would not think are impressive at all. But they have JD’s from Harvard and are Doing very well in a variety of fields related to law. I know she might not be interested in law but my point is that your undergrad matters far less than people think it does if you are applying to grad schools after having done exceptionally well in undergrad regardless of the field.[/quote]

I don't know why people always say "you can go to an elite school for grad school." Yes, that's true for med and law school aspirants, but what about everyone else? A Business major would be better off at a higher ranked school.

I truly, truly, truly do not understand the people who say "go to a lower ranked college for undergrad where you can get straight As and then go to Harvard for Law/Med school." If you went to an Ivy and worked just as hard, you'd be able to break into MBB/BB IB/buyside right out of undergrad. Getting a JD has a negative ROI for the brightest of college students. [/quote]
