[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alabama. Amazing and completely unexpected. Our school search ended there.[/quote]

Because who wouldn't be thoroughly impressed by a school with an 80% acceptance rate?[/quote]

Anyone who's not a prestige whore? I do feel DCUM needs to get out of their rat race bubble sometimes and realize that their worth as a human is not tied to their alma mater and HHI. Many, many people are totally fine with their kid attending a school with acceptance rates over 10% if it's the right program and fit. I can't imagine telling my kid they can't go to a school they really loved because it's going to embarrass me to tell my friends and colleagues where they're going.  Unless you're doing finance, Big Law, or McKinsey consulting, where they are also academic snobs, it really does not matter that much.[/quote]

There are many schools that DC area students attend that are not Alabama & not considered prestigious. Most students attend schools relatively close to home.

JMU, UMBC, GMU, Towson, community college to state university.

This forum definitely skews towards fancier schools![/quote]
