[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the point of this thread?  Basically, the top schools are majority 4.0 kids.

yes, but we are wondering about the opposite. how many 4.0 kids go to crappy schools.[/quote]

What's crappy? Best students at our school stay in-state for the most part. Then a couple go to Tulane, Vanderbilt...The rich ones.[/quote]

Tulane is crappy. Vanderbilt is ok.[/quote]

Your post about Tulane is based on what exactly? Our kid is at Tulane and it seems everyone there is driven. DC said if they aren't taking 16+ credits a semester, they aren't keeping up. Lots of double majors or multiple minors. Like DC's classmates, DC has placed very well with internships and has a post-grad job offer. Sorry if your kid didn't have a good outcome, but that doesn't seem to be the norm.

And Vanderbilt is "okay" lol![/quote]

Different poster: Tulane has a lovely setting but it is a major party school. We went to one of the admitted students days and found that to be a real turn off. From talking to the students and parents, I would say parties are more important than studying.[/quote]

Admitted students we knew spent a large part of admitted students days going to "darties" while their parents attended events supported by the school. To each their own.[/quote]
