[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are these students supposed to go?  There is a huge variety in where students decide to pursue higher education for lots is reasons.  But top students with many academic gifts would overall gravitate to a challenging environment where they can make use of their talents.[/quote]

And where they can afford to go.

Many, many of the best students apply and are admitted to “better” schools than where they ultimately enroll because they cannot afford to go to the more expensive school. Conversely, full pay students are not always the best students but they can pay.

Get you head out of your backside, OP.

Yep. If we had unlimited funds for school, DDs college list would look a lot different. She'd still be applying to LACs but sure, she'd take a shot at the the bigger brand names. But I know that's really just hedging against the idea that there are a lot of people out there who think marketing is an actual measure of education quality.  But we have a budget, so if she doesn't want our in-state public Us, she needed to look a bit harder, focusing on what individual schools actually offer and she's really happy with her options.
