[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended Wake Forest in the 90s when it was 3200 undergrads, and only had professional (law, business, medicine) grad schools. It was in the process of making the move from Regional U to National U. And even in NC, 15 miles from campus. I’d have people say: Lake Forest?  Where is that again?

Most people in NC have still never heard of Davidson. Look at results 8in your kids area of interest— grad school and professional school placements, 1st job out of college, etc. after that, it’s your grad school or work history that become relevant. Not undergrad.

As PP noted— not many people have heard of Grinnell. But somehow, they manage to have amazing placement results in STEM anyway.

“What’s the most impressive magnet for my car” is a crappy way to choose a college or university.  So is straight USNWR ranking. For example, my kid wants IR.  So Carlton, Middlebury, WM, GW, Georgetown, Tufts, Ohio State 
 and American are the schools to look at.  Maybe Colby, Macalaster, Wellesley. And American is a better choice for IR than many higher ranked schools. [/quote]

Including those you named.[/quote]
