[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a lawyer and I've noticed that many U.S. lawyers went to U of Andes, e.g. the CEO of Baker.  I would just google some and reach out.  Also, while I have no idea how a no-name U.S. university degree is seen in LATAM, I can assure you that a U of Andes degree is no more of a disadvantage than a JMU or MWU degree in the U.S.  [/quote]

Of course it is. At a minimum it creates complications if OP’s child wants to go to [b]grad school here[/b] to see if it fulfills prerequisites. [/quote]

You've never been to grad school in the U.S. (at least not a top one).  50+% of grad students at Harvard went to college abroad, about 10% went to college in LATAM[/quote]

+1 I know several students from my HYPS grad school who came from Colombia's los Andes.  All extremely bright.   But I agree that OP, who can't spell the name of the country correctly and didn't realize that touring a college campus during Holy Week in Latin America might be an issue, may not be the best candidate to have her kid attend a Colombian university.[/quote]

Bright and most likely from very well connected and rich Colombian families. [/quote]
