[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm looking at colleges for my DD in her desired major (a science) and noticing the faculty in her field have bachelors degrees from a wide variety of schools, from SLACs to R1 research institutions. When it comes to PhDs, most are from R1 schools. So when thinking about a bachelors, go for the fit and the price and where you feel comfortable. If you're talented enough, grad schools will notice.[/quote] ^^this. I went to a second tier LAC (and excellent and totally blossomed) Our faculty all had Tier 1, R1 PhDs and all flavors of BA/BS degrees. My classmates who pursued research graduate degrees successfully all did so at R1 institutions. The cream will always rise to the top. Pay as little as possible for the best fit possible but don't go into a lifetime of debt for undergrad.[/quote]
