[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By refusing to consider a school like UVA simply because it’s public is silly.  It’s probably the closest thing out there to Duke and is easier to get into and cheaper.  And isn’t that what you mean by “alternative?”[/quote]

NP.  This is a conversation happening now with one of my kids.  Several of his academic peers say any public school, including UVA and Michigan, are not good enough because they are public and have to let lots of “lesser” students in.  Or some such drivel.  [/quote]
I'd take the typical strong student at UVA, Michigan, VT and UMD over Wash U. Tufts, Emory and Rochester any day of the week [/quote]

Do they know that top companies are now recruiting from publics more than privates? I guess not, since the kids' career goal is obviously TikTok nepo baby. Rags to rags in how many generations?[/quote]

They don't because it's not true.  Companies are recruiting from privates and publics as they have always done.[/quote]
