[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to mention that you also come out of the woodwork.

I think you keep missing the point that many of these schools offer very generous merit aid. But I forgot, you are a on instant replay [/quote]

+1 What an a$$. My daughter has a 35 ACT 3.9 UW GPA and has just been accepted to a CTCL with very generous merit. She had a great visit and we were both impressed by the school. It is one of her top picks. Not everyone wants to, or can afford to, go to the "Top 20" schools. These are all nationally ranked schools by US News. I don't get the ugliness that comes out when these nationally ranked schools are discussed.

[b]The only people you're hurting with your comments are the kids.[/b] Why would you put down their choices of where they choose to go to college - whether it's a CTCL school or any other. What is wrong with you people?[/quote]

I'm not hurting any kids by expressing my view on CTCL schools on DCUM.  I'll tell you who is hurting kids though -- expensive CTCL schools with no name recognition and low graduation rates.[/quote]

Your ignorance is showing.

I too am a parent of a CTCL student. DS attends Denison. It's been a very positive experience and ironically [b]I am concerned about their recent rise in the rankings[/b] as I have one more (child) and I'd like to see her have a shot at attending ideally with a decent discount (merit) package.

And to the parent above congrats to you and your daughter on her hard work and continued success.[/quote]

I wouldn't worry too much.  They're currently only 43rd so they have a long way to go before top students will have any interest in going there.[/quote]
