Not sure about Georgetown, but Emory admits a crazy almost 40% without test scores. I wonder what the average is there? Hmmm

Ha! Every college is life changing!
This is what hurts donut hole families too. For parents make 300-400K, college is not life changing. And full pay takes most of their savings. Dam it.

Some places are more likely to be life changing, bump up post-grad opportunities. That is 100% true. Of course Ivies are life changing.
But Honors college at UMD was life changing for DS.

You’re missing the point here
The point is “T20”‘is dumb to begin with. One T20 is another’s Top 50. Everyone knows the top schools in this country. Don’t need a random publication list to know
