[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ithaca College has a 70% acceptance rate and a four year graduation rate of about 68%.

The School of Communications is its main attraction as well as its theater program.

Recommending Ithaca College as some sort of great value school or as an undiscovered (hidden) gem is total garbage. Great place to enjoy four years of socializing and pretending that one attends nearby Ivy League Cornell University.[/quote]

My kid just graduated from the music school, so first you are wrong -- graduation rate just by a quick Google search: The college's overall graduation rate stands at 77%, placing it in the top 20% of institutions.

Second, I just finished the book, and the entire premise of the list is schools with acceptance rates of places you can get into. And the average acceptance rate of any college is 65%. The Ivies are great, but they're not for everyone. [/quote]

Probably not the right place to ask this question, but I will anyway.  Can you talk about your kid’s experience as a music major at Ithaca including their current career plans?  As a Cornell grad I have a hard time considering Ithaca as an option for my kid but kid is a musician and is set on double majoring or minoring in performance.
