[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child will be going to UVA. Got rejected from Ivies. What are we missing by not going to Ivies for pre-med. Outside of pre-med, do Ivies and other top schools create employers and other schools create employees[/quote]

UVA has much bigger enrollment than any of these. Cream rises to the top.[/quote]

True--but you're taking the chance that your state school kid will be the cream.  It's not always the case.  Big pond, lots of fish.[/quote]

Yes but most of the student body isn’t as competitive/gunner-like as the student body at the above schools. Especially if the UVA student could have gone to some of the above schools but chose UVA for other reasons like cost, culture, etc. I know it’s hard to believe, but lots of kids just don’t want to go to tiny colleges in the freezing north with no sports.
