[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I think it's funny, regardless of school, that people are counting on their kids' HS network to provide them with career opportunities. [/quote] Attending a top tier BS is a seal of approval of sorts, just as is a diploma from Yale or Williams or Princeton, or having attended St. Albans/NCS, Maret, Sidwell, etc. in DC. And attending TJ, in some circles I'm sure too. When a friend told me his DC got into Penn a few years ago but was considering a 2nd tier liberal arts school due to a big tuition discount, I wanted to fall all over myself (but didn't) to say of course kid should go to Penn --- both schools might provide a great education but the longstanding value of a Penn diploma, professionally and socially, is worth it in the long run. School background may not matter if you're in the top 0.001% in Silicon Valley but elsewhere in the US it can certainly help === again, it's like a seal of approval.[/quote]
