I have see the wisest CC contributors brainstorm about how to get kids to look beyond prestige or a brand name.
CC is such a useful place for kids and parents. It would be a HUGE step in the right direction to keep these schools in the same Alphabetical List of Colleges and Universities. It sends such an important message to do that and it send an absolutely wrong and damaging message to keep these universities in their own separate list. It simply reinforces the idea that there is something magical about these schools.
