[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know, that's tough.

Say it's Williams and Harvard or Williams and Yale or Williams and Princeton. (Williams being the only LAC that is competitive with the ivies).

Who in their right mind would choose Williams over Harvard, Yale, or Princeton? A degree from any of the latter can set you up for life. (fwiw I went to Cornell and I still find it helpful all these years later and Cornell is considered a "lower" ivy).

Williams is a GREAT school, don't get me wrong. But graduating from there, you're in for a lifetime of "where?" It's not like being able to drop the H bomb.[/quote]

[b]Newsflash - bachelors in an ivy doesn't set you up for life. [/b] A graduate or PHD from one will.  Second newsflash:

Students
Harvard College: About 6,700
Graduate and professional students: About 15,250
Total: About 22,000

The OP's child will never play actively on a D1 team, even if they make the D1 team.  They will also have to dummy down their studies to survive and have ZERO outside life.

Go to the D3, play actively and contribute to the team.  Get great grades and move onto Harvard for graduate when you can fully concentrate on it.  [/quote]

The bolded statement is not true for our generation, at least. I know many people who upwardly fail through life because of where they went to school and their money and connections. You can't tell me you don't know the same. I won't believe you.

Jared Kushner is just the most notorious example of this but it's everywhere.[/quote]
