[quote=Anonymous] College choice doesn't matter as much as some agonized parents on DCUM think it does, but that doesn't mean it doesn't matter at all, and that distinction is probably very individual and career-dependent. The truth is that teens should not close doors for themselves, and should strive to get into a college that has a strong reputation for their desired major, and then take it from there. The other stuff, like parents asking whether a college is trendy or popular, doesn't matter. What matters to interviewers and grad school admissions is the overall reputation, or a particular major's reputation. If you're wondering about colleges without a national reputation... then your child isn't going to be picked based on where they went to college anyway. They'll be picked for how well they explain their career goals and expertise, and how they present themselves at the interview. Point being: the agency you think you have is not where you think it is. [/quote]
