[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if your DC changes their mind about their major/program? Lots of kids change their major. That would make me wary of choosing a school based on a particular program. [/quote] Then send them to a school that is the jack of all trades master of none. You choice. [/quote] No, send them to schools that are master of all: T5 to T25 in ALL areas. That is how you win the game in this job market as well as the current rush to med/law/grad school. The same players win. Everyone we know sitting on multiple top-20 admits to MD-phD or phD spots is from an Ivy+ or UCB, or Williams. They are going on admission visits all over. The same group landed top summer jobs all through undergrad. A couple steps down, the T50 uni range, no admissions, maybe one T25, despite 3.95--higher GPA than the top school kids. The undergrad programs and research experience is not as rigorous. Companies understand the differences as do grad programs. [/quote]
