[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College prestige does not matter to me as a parent. Just want a great education that leads to a good job.[/quote] +2. I also have not seen "prestige" really result in any of these "reasons" listed. What does matter? Wealth and connections of the student's families. [/quote] I went to an ivy with no weakth and no connections, and met many who were from similar backgrounds. Trust me that it was the school’s premiere reputation that landed me at a top law school and my pellgrant friend at a top med school. It is a completely different world. My 18 year old self had no idea the doors that would fly open just because of where I was. Faculty made calls for me. My kid is at a different ivy and entering a niche field and faculty are fostering connections to summer internships. The advantage cannot be overstated. Truly. [/quote]
