[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.   [b]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[/b].[/quote]

The poster that says “we got into X college” has entered the chat. I know DCUM is full of helicopter parents who curate their kids’ whole lives and some even write their essays, but I’m amazed at the amount of people that think any of the mom’s behavior is relevant to what school a kid should go to. But I’m just a first gen from the 90’s who weren’t involved in the college process at all. [/quote]
