[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP — it depends on the kid’s professional aspirations. For medicine, go where you will do well. A 3.3 from Caltech will make it hard to get into medical school, which is absurd, but that’s the reality. Tech, finance, consulting: prestige of school can carry a kid far, even if UG academic record is mediocre.[/quote] 100% agree. I’m on a med school faculty and have done some interviewing. Med schools want kids with mostly A’s. They prefer U Delaware 3.8 sociology major over Ivy 3.5 molecular biology/classics double major, which is ridiculous.[/quote]
