[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people don’t know or care about the T-25 or SLACs. Just walk into any Wal-Mart and take a survey. Most people worried about real issues- keeping up with mortgage/rent and car payments, medical bills, making sure their kids become self-sufficient (the crazy high involvement college admissions process runs counter to that in many affluent families). Keeping it real. [/quote]

The problem is if you walk into a WalMart and ask them basic questions about literally anything (current events, basic history, basic math) they won’t be able to answer those questions either.

So…why is the random WalMart person relevant to any of this?[/quote]

I agree but a common refrain is "nobody has heard of it how can it be good?" If name recognition is the standard Bama rolls with Harvard in the US. Harvard may be known in Asia but outside of certain groups trying to impress their relatives that point is meaningless as well. People need to get over this nonsense since [b]their is very little differentiation in the student bodies among the top 30 Universities and top 20 SLACs.[/b][/quote]

I agree with you until here. After doing admit days, I very much felt differently. A couple of very top schools compared to another school just inside of T20. The current felt very different, a distinct positive for some no doubt, but definitely a different student body. [/quote]
