[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree with all the PPs. It depends on the disparity between the reach and safety schools, but going to a well-regarded school can confer benefits for a long time. For first job, grad school admissions, how good of grades you need to be a "good candidate" for whatever's next, etc. Make sure she's certain about this and understands the ramifications of her choice, not just how fun the next 4 yrs will be. Unpopular opinion I know![/quote] I know you mean well, and believe what you are saying. But many others of us don't think such "connections" or "status signals" are necessary for success. For others, that sounds blasphemous. It may depend upon where you look for validation, and how you define success. [/quote] Easier acceptance into grad school or getting pushed to the top of a pile of resumes is neither “connections” or “status signals.” I’m sure you mean well, but you seem to be missing the point.[/quote]
