[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Often you read parents touting the vast resources at the most selective colleges, funded by multi-billion endowments and pricy tuition. Nobody ever details what those resources actually are and how often they’re used.

Our DD is at a top 10 and the only resource seems to be a boundless amount of staff who email her or forward her to another staff member, who will email her or offer to jump on a zoom, to detail things they will later email her. They don’t really offer bespoke help, they just email her copy and paste text and links into emails. Is this one example of the alleged resources?[/quote]

I am sorry, but I am tired of all the folks with a kid that attends a Top 10 and expects some VIP level of service with zero effort on behalf of the kid.

My kid attends a top 10 that opened an incredible lab to incubate new student ventures.  My kid has attended numerous sessions where they have met the Managing Partner of one of the largest VC firms in the world and met the founder/CEO of a prominent unicorn company (both alums).  Both agreed to 30 minute one-on-ones with students that signed up with the lab for announcements and then signed up for these events.  My kid now has a nice little back-and-forth with the unicorn company CEO.

My kid is a freshman and this happened just in the 1st semester.  My kid appreciates all the other students that don't bother to investigate these events, as mentioned they are not nearly as well attended as one might expect.[/quote]

Say you go to Stanford without saying you go to Stanford.

You are probably the same person that posts this phrase over and over…no, it’s not Stanford[/quote]

I assumed Harvard or maybe Princeton b/c of biotech and the VCs that are in Boston for the MIT/ resesrch expertise.[/quote]
