[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on major and narrative.

If non-Stem and humanities or social sciences with strong app narrative, private school gets you there much easier.[/quote]

Why don’t people here understand this?[/quote]

I am not sure I understand this - is it bc privates can help to create a narrative better for humanities kids?[/quote]

I think it’s because practical people don’t want to pay $90k a year for a humanities major at a private college.[/quote]

And people with a brain and/or who have money can exercise second order thinking and get beyond the obsession with ROI. Because

a) you can still get plenty of jobs with a humanities degree. Great for getting into law school.
b) you can apply as a humanities major and change the day you get to school. Most schools don't hold you to a major. Humanities often makes it easier to get in.
c) Those with resources send their kids to private colleges to minimize exposure to the "who the heck would spend that much money - you must be an engineer or pre-med because those are the only meaningful jobs" crowd, who tend to be insufferable.

But you go around telling us how smart you are. I'm sure you think I'm an idiot. You go to your schools. I'll send my kids to mine. We will never socialize. I will not be worse for it.[/quote]
