[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see a massive amount of hand wringing on this forum. So I have to ask: what are you truly afraid of? What do you suppose might happen if your kid doesn’t get into a “good enough” college? Surely you all must know successful people who went to a huge range of colleges. So you know it’s far from the end of the world if you don’t get into the college you like at 17 years old. So what’s the fear? [/quote] My concerns are not with ranking as with the quality of education available to my DC for what they want to do. There are differences between departments at various schools, and not all schools (even great and/or highly ranked schools) can be the best at everything. My DC wants to dual major in very different subjects, and it just happens to be that the schools that offer the best opportunities in this regard are selective. [/quote]
