[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t tend to use T10. But sometimes I use T20 and T50 as a shorrtand.

When I do, I’m referring to two different levels of selectivity/unpredictability when it comes to admissions.

I do this knowing the rankings and lines between these categories are quite blurry in a whole bunch of ways.

For example, it’s clear that the schools are ranked a little differently by different publications, and that a school’s exact ranking on a list (or in people’s minds) also changes depending on which categories of schools are included - only private universities or those plus public universities and/or LAC and/or regional schools.

When I want information about a specific school, I either refer to it by name or group it with a couple of similar schools. [/quote]

Nuanced, logical, and takes it all with a grain of salt.

A view like this allows you to keep your child at the center of their process while understanding that one element of college valuation is perception/prestige. It is not the most important one. [/quote]
