[quote=Anonymous]Departments play no role in college admissions. Your kid got in because it’s a “weaker” school. What makes your strategy a sound one is not an admissions advantage. It’s that you’ve identified relatively easy to get into schools where the subject(s) DC is interested in are well taught. I’m guessing/hoping you’re looking at schools where there are grad programs in DC’s field — otherwise how would you know the strength of specific departments? (USNWR rankings of undergrad programs are useless). And this strategy relies on your kid ending up in the major s/he was interested in as a junior in HS. You may well understand all this, but someone reading your post might not. Congrats to your DC![/quote]
