[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bates. Tulane. SMU. UC Santa Barbara. Ole Miss. Sewanne. Kenyon. Davidson. Wake. Washington and Lee. USC. U Vermont. All taken from Big 3 matriculation lists this year. Which ones would you consider "disappointments"?[/quote] I'll play. From a Big 3, disappointments all except maybe USC, UC SB, Kenyon. If it's family tradition to attend Ole Miss or Wake forest, maybe ok. Honestly, for the tuition at a Big 3 - I'll expect Ivy or equivalent like Stanford, Duke, etc.[/quote] Then don't send a child. Have you had your head in a bucket for the past decade? College admissions has changed drastically since the 1980s (when presumably you applied). Kids get a wonderful education at these area independents but it is not a 1950s style ticket into the Ivy League. The tuition is a ton of money so if college admissions is your sole or even primary goal you are likely to be disappointed and should save your money.[/quote]
