[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of 3 college students and a Talent Resource Officer at a Fortune 500, I will say that rankings are a resource to help target your search…..however... I cannot say this enough, but you should send your kid to a school where they can be happy and successful and where they will not be overwhelmed. With some exceptions, employers would rather hire a superstar from a good school (excellent grades, active on campus, interesting work experience) over a mediocre student from an elite school. Let’s face it, all of our kids are not cut out for an Ivy. I remember the old adage that 50% of students will be in the bottom half of their class. So it is important that you realistically evaluate the cultural, social and academic fit for your kid. It would be great if that fit is an Ivy or “highly ranked” college – but it may not be and that is fine too. [/quote]
