[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why just this list? It’s hard to find those qualities in the schools that people apply to because they prioritize prestige. (Think of all the people applying to Ivies solely because they’re part of that athletic conference.)[/quote]

Agree. Drop all the prestige hunting schools and then you will find your unicorn. Unless prestige is at the top of your list, then just ignore your other criteria.[/quote]

Top schools have good reputations for a reason. If a kid has been striving in a rigorous high school and is among cohorts who get accepted into these colleges, why do they need to aim lower? I agree with not going 100% by prestige only, but like with most things, prestige and quality often intersect. A Mercedes is in fact a better car than a Kia for people who could afford one.[/quote]

I agree with this generally, but I have a Kia and previously owned a Mercedes and I must prefer my Kia.  And we have a HHI  in the 7 figures.[/quote]
