[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that there are kids applying early to Princeton who will end up at, say, Brandeis. It’s not all that different a pool. There is something to be said for circumventing months of stress and waiting. The outcome might be no different.

I sympathize, kind of, as my kid’s favorite right now is a regional school, not well known, and I think he’d be a competitive candidate at much more “name” schools. But in the end it’s his decision. I went to HYP and it was not a great experience overall. It really is about what you do in college, not where you go. [/quote]

This. Also consider that a lot of strong students can't consider the top 30ish universities or SLACs because they can't afford them so they are looking a tier down to fit their budget. [/quote]

Just a heads up for anyone else in this boat (we were/are), a lot of the LACs ranked between 20-50 do not give merit aid - so check that before your kid starts liking LAC A which does notngive merit aid vs LAC B which does! [/quote]
