Is it necessary to ED to a SLAC ranked 40-50, just do RC and see if she changes her mind by then
DP: It is necessary; they only take about 1000 students and some of them fill more than half the class ED.

Forget the rankings after you get out of the top 20 or so schools which have name recognition, even though they don’t necessarily provide a better education. I think it becomes a wash from 20-80ish where kids need to go where they’re most likely to thrive. A top 40-50 liberal arts school can be a springboard to many successes in life.

I am glad I went to state school as did most of my friends. And we all do quite well for ourselves.

That is a valid issue

If this is Op and you’re upset that your kid may ED at Duke because it’s not a higher ranked school, then I think I can officially be done with DCUM forever. What a joke!

A way for OP to do this without self-doxxing is to refer to a similar school. Such as, a school like Catholic University, or a school like Creighton.
It’s Duke

I used to think people should go to the most prestigious college they can. After 20 years in the workplace, I no longer think that at all. Let this be DC’s choice within your budget constraints.

If you took DC there twice, it is suss to now pull the plug.
