[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Princeton last century and I'm sure I thought my education was pretty special - at the time. But by the time I was in my late 20s, it was clear that it wasn't special, and that there were plenty of people who came out of MI and Indiana and UCLA who were every bit as smart, educated, and had plenty of connections. Plus had soft skills and sales skills I probably lacked. So I knew this, but the soup we were living in put so much value on "prestige" schools it was very hard to push past it. I think I wish I would have sent my kids to those derided "pay to play" summer things freshman and sophomore years. Find out Syracuse and UCLA are really pretty nice fun of bright kids, and compare favorable to Georgetown etc[/quote] +1 on the derided pay to play programs. My kid went to one and it was helpful for him to get a better understanding of the college experience and ideas about a possible major.[/quote]
