[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]99.9% of kids can’t get into HPYSM, so it doesn’t really matter where top publics rate relative to them. When you compare privates rated 10-25 to top publics, they offer no better job or graduate school placement, on average, and cost a lot more. For many smart kids, this is the practical tradeoff. If you are in-state to one if these better publics, it’s a no brainer.

By saying costs don’t matter, this just becomes another ranking thread, which is useless because everyone already knows - more or less - where schools stand. No one cares about the difference between 10-25 or 26-40. When you add cost to the equation, you’re ascertaining value. That’s what most care about. [/quote]

This is stupid. Not even hypsm offers any superior job/graduate school placement in this day and age. There is no guarantee of anything. It's not a golden key to success. hypsm prestige defense squad folks are truly delusional.  [/quote]

Not sure why the hate. I think PP largely agrees with you that while HPYSM are better schools than some Top Publics, the opportunities out of Top Publics are very good, especially for majors like CS. [/quote]
