[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS has an opportunity to go to Williams - he has the grades but not quite the test scores, but is an athlete and is being recruited. He wants to study something they don't teach at Williams. We qualify for a very small amount of grant aid, according to the net price calculator. We would have to take out loans to make it work. Not sure it's worth it. Another kid we know who is going as a recruited athlete next year is constantly getting the "Williams?" (blank look) from people - which makes me doubt that its name recognition and reputation sis o great that it's worth going into debt for, if they don't have what DS wants to study (so he'd have to go to graduate school). I am getting the "Williams is worth it" from a few people, but not sure its name recognition is even there, or worth it.

It is worth it. You are paying for an education not name recognition by fiends Williams offers an exceptional undergraduate education. Maybe better than HYP for undergraduate.  Believe me Williams is very well known by recruiters and graduate schools. If your friends have no heard of Williams they know very little about higher education. Go for it.[/quote]

People who have never heard of Williams are ignorant.

It's one of the very top schools. It's a potted Ivy -- Williams, Amherst and Wesleyan.

Your child will get a stellar education at Williams, probably better than he'll get at an Ivy because it's smaller. But the education can't be beat anywhere.
