[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of us have lived & studied at colleges all over the country & maybe a foreign country (2 foreign countries in my case). It’s painful to see people asking for guidance for college selection & 80% of the recommended schools are[b] the same handful of colleges in the northeast [/b]that don’t fit & which the OPs probably already know about.

Like if a kid has a 28 ACT & wants to study finance at a large warm-weather public with rah-rah spirit. The recommendations will be like[b] Colby, Brown, Wesleyan, & Swarthmore[/b]. [/quote]

These are the kind of schools parents want to know about. And the USNWR top 50 of course.  :)

No one en masse cares about a meh college in Alabama.[/quote]

Alabama and Auburn each received more applications last fall than any of the bolded schools, including Brown.[/quote]

From 1200 SAT kids. Applications from 1500 SAT kids are what matter.[/quote]

Half the students who get into Brown and Wesleyan don't even submit their SAT, and four out of five don't submit their ACT. At least Alabama and Auburn are test-preferred.[/quote]
