[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, OP needs to change the title to, “Schools that rejected both me AND my kids...”[/quote]
Yeah I'm sure that's why no one has posted[b] MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, Cal Tech etc[/b]. as overrated, because they've accepted all the kids of every poster here.

Or perhaps you saw a school you are associated as correctly being called overrated.[/quote]

[b]Who thinks of Cal Tech as on par as MIT[/b], let alone Harvard? Other than the occasional booster, people correctly rate Cal Tech and Berkeley a notch or two below the top schools. That's why those two schools are not called overrated.[/quote]

I do.  [/quote]

So do I. But most importantly, so does MIT.

This list gives me second hand social anxiety. I feel bad for the schools that picked schools that didn’t pick them back. It’s like not matching on Tinder.[/quote]

I doubt many of them used anywhere close to a similar methodology, and who knows who filled these things out.  By the looks of it, private schools really never choose public schools.  [/quote]

Almost all schools choose peers in their strategic plans. It is important who they choose because it will be used by people like the board of trustees in order to compare finances, research productivity, admissions etc. That is why schools try to choose schools with similar missions and quality. If a school doesn't choose wisely, they can look very bad in comparison and that can lead to things like presidents getting fired. This was not just a survey for a magazine.

That the posters on here know so little about how academics works makes me wonder why you think anybody would care about your opinion about a school like Caltech. Most people here probably cannot understand the vast majority of what happens there. [/quote]
