[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was accepted to Williams and Swarthmore. My favorite comment was "Oh, I never heard of those schools".  Kept me humble.[/quote]

Unless you hang with a lot of boarding school families, those aren’t gonna be on people’s radar. [/quote]

I am a foreigner and already have one kid in college (STEM), so we've done some college research. Never heard of any of those schools. It is probably known to a small group within US. [/quote]

LOL Most educated professionals have certainly heard of Williams, Amherst or Swarthmore just as they know the names Brown, Cornell and Dartmouth.  [/quote]

Sorry, you can LOL as much as you want. I have 3 degrees, so I am an educated professional. Never heard of Williams, Amherst or Swarthmore. I heard about Brown, Cornell, and Dartmouth. As I mentioned before, those schools are known only to americans. Very few foreigners ever heard about them. And I do work with the people who had liberal arts degrees. I assume those schools even less known in STEM fields. [/quote]

University of Idaho has more name recognition abroad than Swarthmore. Only a fool who thinks USA is still gonna be on top in 20 years will pay a quarter of a million for these obscure brands.[/quote]

People that matter know so that's all that really matters, isn't it?[/quote]
