[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at a highly selective graduate program (think med school, bschool, or law school) and I can tell you that it absolutely matters where your kid goes to undergrad. We look at an applicant who attended a highly selectively university differently than we do someone who did not. Obviously it is not the only metric we pay attention, to but all things being equal, we look at a kid who went to Stanford differently than a kid who attended Chico state school. This is also very true when we are hiring faculty. So if you can afford it , send your kid to the best school that they get into. [/quote] Interesting. How do you compare a bottom of the pack kid from Stanford with a student who excelled - top of their class - at a state flagship? Doesn’t the latter show more grit?[/quote]
