[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now you leave the OP alone. Maybe his dad's just trying to make him feel better about having to attend Mason.

OP, Mason may have been more selective initially; however, that is no longer the case.

The truth is that Mason is filled with lots of bright kids who end up there due to finances or because they didn't get into other schools. Perhaps they chose Mason as a safety and ended up there because the other schools didn't offer the financial aid package that would allow them to attend.

The truth is that the school's selectivity is not as important as what you get out of it.

I went to a school with open-enrollment. [b]It was the laughingstock of my town and considered the 13th grade instead of college.[/b] People had a point, everyone who applied got in. It was like a 4-year NOVA. However, that didn't stop me from going Ivy for grad school.

The other truth is that you will have a great time no matter where you go. It's COLLEGE!!!!

I had a blast during my 4 years at that laughingstock of a state school I had to attend. And met some wonderful people there. (I was also shocked to see so many super smart people from my school there. Finances. You go where you can afford it.)[/quote]

Profoundly sad there are people who think that way, isn't it. Glad your experience was overwhelmingly positive! You could teach people a lot around these parts!! :)[/quote]
