[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both the article and the accompanying list of colleges vibe with what many have observed over the past decade or so. A lot of employers aren't impressed with the general caliber of Ivy grads in recent years compared to prior generations. And anyone who has gone through the college application process recently is very much aware that Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are rarely choosing the best and brightest for admittance. They by and large have different institutional priorities these days. The real talent is going elsewhere and this list seems to reflect that. I think it's a pretty solid list of where high caliber students go presently.[/quote]

How is the real talent going elsewhere if the students admitted to HYP have the top academic indicators over every other school.[/quote]
Averages.

They do admit lower performing students over higher ones, and those higher ones who get shut out of ivies go to state flagships.

And those state flagships accept a lot more students, especially in state, who have lower scores.[/quote]
