[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]feel crazy calling Bentley Bucknell and Fairfield hidden gems, but these are great schools - especially if ur kid wants pre professional path. I get it Bucknell likely not going to beat Wesleyan for an ethno-music major, but it will likely provide a better path to a job in finance. [/quote]

I guess I am struggling with this list and then the strange takeaways people have.

My takeaways are:

- Ivy league is super powerful when it comes to pre-professional.  5 of the top 10 are Ivy and all 8 are in the top 20.  It reinforces the prestige snob factor everyone rails against;
- If you can't get accepted to the Ivy league or the other very selective schools in the top 20 (even Babson is only 19%)...then Bentley and Lehigh should be your focus, with UVA high on your target list if in-state (but UVA is also very selective)

If anything, Bentley is the completely undiscovered gem and it has the added advantage of not being in the middle of nowhere like Bucknell.[/quote]
