[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I went to a T10 university, and if I was hiring, would not give an advantage to a kid who went to a slac over a state school. Particularly a seven sister school, because very few kids are even willing to attend them these days. But thanks for your efforts to be condescending."

I went to HSYP and unlike you, I paid attention to things like where my professors and their kids went to college. That's why I know what Bryn Mawr is about.

Do you even realize that the average SAT at Bryn Mawr is 1410 while it's 1265 at Penn State?[/quote]

+1.  The OP of this comment is beyond misinformed. And misogonystic as well? What do you have against a seven sisters school? Who said few kids are willing to attend Their acceptance rates show that isn't true.

Penn State acceptance rate: 57%
Virginia Tech: 56%

[u]Seven Sisters[/u]

Barnard acceptance rate:8%

Wellesley: 16%

Vassar: 22%

Smith: 26%

Bryn Mawr:: 31%

Mt Holyoke: 40%

Anyhow, why would you NOT use an alumni network? It's not something very helpful in my field, but my spouse went to a very selective SLAC undergrad and then ivy league for grad school. The alumni network has helped him exponentially. And that's one of the reasons he went to these schools.

You seem to have some sort of chip on your shoulder. [/quote]

Barnard is popular as a back door to Columbia and Vassar saved itself by going coed.  But the others lost most of shine after the Ivies went coed.[/quote]

Yes. People like to say their daughter is at an Ivy. Barnard gives you a kid at Columbia.This makes Barnard infinitely more attractive than the other 7 Sister Colleges.[/quote]
