[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just looking at some instagrams of some high schools and see so many students heading to public schools out of state. While I absolutely understand why students would choose UVA, VT, W&M, UMD, etc if you are in state, why would you pick schools like Penn State or Clemson?[/quote]

Because you can't get into your top state schools. [/quote]

It has become really hard to get into UVA, W&M and engineering at VT.[/quote]

Yes, true. But I can't think of any good reason to go to Clemson.  [/quote]

[b]Maybe that’s because you didn’t do that well in school.[/b][/quote]

?  I did quite well (at a university ranked much much higher than #75 on USNWR), but we're talking about where our kids should go.  Can't see any reason in the world for them to go to Clemson. I'd hope they can do a bit better than that.[/quote]

You are an idiot if you focus your kid solely on school rankings.  I’m sure there are plenty of super smart Clemson students and lots of grads at top law firms, doctors, etc.  The same could be said about many others schools ranked (gasp) even worse than Clemson.[/quote]
