[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is my issue with the CTCL organization: Its board is made up of mostly of reps from the schools it promotes. Its income consists of membership (marketing) fees from the schools it promotes. As a non-profit organization, its “services” consist of paying one person to go around the country and promote these schools. There is nothing amazingly different about most of these schools from the hundreds of other schools out there. Some are quite good but many are struggling financially and there are many with horrible graduation rates. Schools should be considered on an individual basis, not because they are part of an irrelevant list. [/quote]

+1.  CTCL feeds into the insecurity of parents whose kids can't get into Tier 1.[/quote]

[b]Another way to look at this: it lets people know there are more than 20 good colleges on the planet.[/quote][/b]

It's just a marketing gimmick now[/quote]

All schools market themselves.  Why hate on this small group?  Their message is:  We are great colleges that are easier to get into and possibly far less money, and we will still position your kid for success.[/quote]
