[quote=Anonymous]Fine, if your DC wants to be an investment banker. Mine most assuredly does not. He most likely will be an academic and therefore is looking at schools that are an ends in themselves and not a means to an end. And, again, "best school possible" means nothing unless you ask "for what?" Not everyone wants to be an investment banker, I can assure you. And there ways to determine what schools are the best for you without outsourcing your list to a sketchy approach. The entities with the top 10 list that you refer to -- does it track exactly the US News top 10? Probably not, because they developed it on their own, I'm sure. I'm sure there's much overlap, but I don't think they need US news to come up with their list. In my and my husband's field there are many very successful people who did not go to a top 10 school.
