[quote=Anonymous][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, [b]Bentley is the completely undiscovered gem[/b] and it has the added advantage of not being in the middle of nowhere like Bucknell.[/quote]
Is an undiscovered gem different than one that's hidden?[/quote]
