[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Adding to this list, what would you say for NYU, U of Wisconsin, Macalester?[/quote]

NYU is super popular but tuition/books + cost of living in NYC makes it ridiculous.  Not sure why people spend the money to send their kids to undergrad there.  Med/Law/MBA are a whole different story.  U of Wisconsin would be preferred to all the others mentioned on the list unless a UC and from CA.  Macalester is a good well know regional school - yes, if you live in Minnesota but why choose it over U of MN?[/quote]

Wisconsin is behind most on the list except Ole Miss and Sewanee - unless you are a grad student that wants to o research - for undergrad it's not close.  [/quote]

According to who?

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Wisconsin–Madison

It's considered one of the "public Ivies" and if you compare cost of attending, it's a better value.  Some of the other colleges listed cost 2-3x as much without being 2x-3x better.

For undergrad, employers are not going to distinguish much difference between U of Wisconsin and NYU.[/quote]
