[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem to think the only way to get a good education is to get into a top 50 school. I went to community college and learned a TON in some classes and absolutely nothing in others. But I'm 48 and still reference some of the things I learned in the good classes (which weren't even my major). [/quote] Not OP. I certainly do not believe you have to go to a top 50 to get a good education or to get far and ahead in life. So much is on the person. But while that is true, it is also true that the better the school the more pathways to the future and possibly an easier climb but possibly not. It is really the options a better school gives you. At the better school you may not take advantage or you may squander. But they are there. For Ivys and the like --- but not just Ivys ----- the network is crazy. You do not have to take advantage of it but it is there. The connections you can make with professors can get more meaningful at those schools which opens other pathways. Lots of places may interview and recruit at UChicago but not Towson. Towson is a great school but you possible pathways are greater at UChicago.[/quote]
