[quote=Anonymous]You shouldn't think like this, OP. I've got college and high school kids, running the gamut between highly gifted and merely above average, and college admissions are not just about academic brilliance. It would be so much easier if they were!!!

Most families cannot afford to send their kids just anywhere. You will find brilliant kids in many flagship state universities. You will find less academic kids that have arrived at top-tier institutions, through various athletic and geographic diversity initiatives or other special interests that intrigued the readers of their applications.

Anywhere your child goes, they will find a variety of intelligences: cerebral, social, emotional, etc. It is up to your child to expose themselves to as much of it as possible, and find their close circle of friends.

Your child needs to have reach, target and safety schools. PP is correct that some departments are stronger than others in the same institution. And then neither you nor your kid will have control over the outcome. You will choose from colleges who admit your kid, based on personal preference and financial concerns.

That's all.
