[quote=Anonymous]LOL OP. My DH and I went to below average State U and we knew it and managed to do well because back then (we're 60) most everyone we knew went to whichever university was closest. I totally agree with you that people here simply can't admit it. I work at a local, expensive university. I happened to ask the question of the Chairman of the Board yesterday about the rankings and why anyone would want to pay for private when the school isn't ranked well. He went on and on about "how the rankings don't matter, blah, blah, blah". I just had to laugh.

You can bet since my DH and I went to sub-par U...we sent our only child to Princeton. That is the American Dream for us. I wouldn't pay the money to go private for "average". I don't know why people do.

[quote=Anonymous]They [b]always[/b] bend over backwards to say it doesn't matter what college you go to (or only graduate school matters), or how it has a great honors program (proven to be a marketing scam), or how some low-status niche major they offer is world class, rattle off a couple rich alums of the hundreds of thousands that are just regular Joes, blah blah blah. It's all so desperate.

Why can't they just admit they raised an [i]Average Eddie[/i] who goes to a normal college? ¯\_(?)_/¯[/quote][/quote]
