[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NESCAC schools are relics of a bygone era. Excuding Williams, the rest are irrelevant compared to the big boys of the Ivies and Duke.[/quote]

Someone’s kid didn’t get in.[/quote]
An incredibly weak line when they are worse[/quote]

A nonsensical comment deserves nothing better. The R1 bigots are laughable especially when the evidence contradicts their assertions.[/quote]

Do you want to work with an active, accomplished researcher at R1 doing impactful, federally funded research, or a "minor league" (on average) researcher at SLACs who will hold your hands each step of the way?[/quote]

The truth is that your kid sitting at the R1 will not be working with an accomplished researcher at a top lab with a top researcher because they are not qualified to do so. Your kid is overhead, not an asset. If they get into a lab they will be washing equipment, supervised by a bored TA who is pissed off because they are babysitting rather than working on their research. If they truly excel at scut work they might get a bit more exposure as a senior but that pales next to a SLAC kid who has had multiple years in well equipped labs (top SLACs have great facilities) working directly with a researcher as opposed to another kid. Things aren't always what they seem.[/quote]
