[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on your kid.  I have an average kid who is not a super-high achiever and can sometimes be 'meh' about schoolwork.  I think that he will do well in some of the lower-ranked schools that we have visited precisely because they are smaller and aren't filled with people who think that going to an Ivy is the be-all and end-all.  I have been impressed with some of the in-state schools that many here would shun because they are the right place for my kid.  He would be lost in a large university.  Looking at his projected stats (he's a junior) he should be able to get in and because it's in state, I'm not worried about paying for it at all.

I am a Ivy grad, and I honestly have no idea where most of my colleagues went to school. When I read resumes (government) I don't really pay a lot of attention to the name on the diplomas as many of you on this board have no idea how many people go on to have good careers from places that I sometimes say to myself "where the heck is that?"[/quote]
