[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pitt is a much better school anyway.[/quote]

Really? I've never heard that. Thanks for a first.[/quote]

I graduated from Pitt and agree that's probably sarcasm. However, for someone who wants to be a really big fish in a smaller pond, Pitt would probably be more fun.  Pitt has Rhodes and Marshalls scholars.  Pitt grads who stand out get into prestige medical schools, Harvard Law, etc.  The professors have good backgrounds and seem to enjoy teaching.  The new Chancellor just came from U of MN for a pay bump and because her own son goes to Pitt.  Pitt also respects the liberal arts more than a lot of big universities do - valuing writing skills/English, history, languages, etc.  There are plenty of campus activities and of course if the school is somewhat less selective there's more of a chance that your child can lead or participate vs. not even making the cut.  When I was in college, my close friend at Penn said many of her freshman friends were still bitter about not getting into Harvard or Yale.  I wonder if that's still a factor but doubt there's any reason for that to have changed...teen ingratitude being a fairly durable tendency, LOL.[/quote]
