“In my neighborhood almost everyone is a college grad and I can’t think of anyone who didn’t attend a top 100 university. Maybe that’s because I live in the Midwest”
- In Midwest also. Most people around us care a lot what HS kids attend, not so much about what UG. Also we are into receiving big Merit awards at college, preferably full tuition or close. And since D. went to one of the best private HS’s in our state, most of her friends are either in Grad. School or graduated from Grad. school already or at least obtained some licenses like CPA. Nobody is checking the ranking of UG. People around my D. are normally looking at UG as a stepping point to the higher level of education. And this stepping point should preferably be as cheap as possible.
