[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I went to TT schools. Because the vast majority of others there were also top students, our lifelong friends who we both made in college are smart, curious, highly motivated. Most have done very well in their chosen careers. They are people for whom education is a top priority.

You will find plenty of people like this at a lower tier school. But they are not as common.

I am sure I will now get a flurry of responses telling me I am a pedigree snob. And perhaps I am. I have plenty of close friends who didn't go to these schools. I remain very close to childhood friends, all of whom went to good but not great state schools.

For me, college was a truly formative four years. I hope it is the same for my children.[/quote]

you are simply wrong that there are not many smart, talented, motivated, interesting people at other schools. [/quote]

The intellectual profile is basically identical at pretty much any T25 university or T15 SLAC. None are really any better than any of the others.[/quote]
