[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I'm rationalizing. Our oldest graduated from a MOCO public and is at Amherst. Our middle boy is boarding at a NE prep and is happy there. Insecure much?[/quote]

Amherst grads can't compete with the H-Y-P grads or the top tier state school honors grads.  Harsh but it's the world we live in.  You're wasting your money.

You are wrong. Period.[/quote]

Agreed.  I mean, maybe if the only thing you want for your child is that they become an investment banker?  But the richest hedge fund guy I know in real life went to a mid-tier LAC.  I legitimately have never come across a job populated solely or even predominantly by HYP grads, and I work with high-level political appointees, talking heads, think tank folks, Hill staff, etc. every day. I think your graduate degree is MUCH more important than a HYP undergraduate degree, and my extremely selective graduate program had students from all sorts of undergraduate institutions.
