[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It *really* depends on the status of the college. You can study whatever you want an an Ivy and you’ll always have a leg up.

But at a big public U, outside of STEM, most of their undergrad departments are a joke. And at more or less open-admit regional universities, only teaching, accounting, nursing and engineering (if offered) degrees are worth it.[/quote]

But going to big public U is usually not high-brow and a regional university is always low-brow. High SES kids go to private schools, even if they can't get into the most selective ones, or they go to very top public schools. That's why places like GW and NYU do well, because they're less selective than actual elite schools but they charge money as if they are elite. [/quote]

How old are you?  NYU was #29 with a 16% admit rate. GW was #70 with a 42% admit rate. If you are going to put school down at least correct. NYU has over 86000 applications so to say kids don’t get rejected is just dumb. [/quote]
