[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all need to get a grip.  Not everyone can go or wants to go to Amherst or Williams. [b] My DC is being recruited by both and has zero interest in either. [/b] The only one of those small liberal arts schools he liked is Middlebury, but even that is in the middle of his list.  College selection is such a personal thing that it seems silly to limit your child to the top 10 rankings, or push a small liberal arts school when that's not what they want.  Similarly I know a decent number of unhappy kids at Cornell because it was the Ivy they got in to. Don't be so guided by the rankings.[/quote]

Really?  So DC is currently a junior and being recruited by Williams and Amherst.  For what?[/quote]

+1 I'm curious too.  What does Amherst and Williams recruit for?  Maybe awesome future Comparative Lit majors  :lol:  BTW, most of the people who I know who attended Amherst and Williams had fathers and grandfathers who went.  I always had the impression they gave more preferences to legacies than the Ivies.[/quote]
