<p>So I guess Lynxinsider was talking about people like you when discussing people who really love their rankings haha. I promise I won’t change my mind on my major, I’m not flakey on the subject like most incoming freshman. I understand what you are saying about the alumni network being larger, but that still doesn’t mean that I would have better job prospects or even higher paying salaries if I went to ND or Vandy. Others seem to think going to a school like vandy or nd would not give me the extra pay back for the thousand and thousands more I would spend on the education.
And I wouldn’t exactly say you would be out of your mind to choose a state school over vandy or nd… Thousands of kids with ACT scores 32+ go to state schools as opposed to higher ranked schools… Most people don’t have the money to shell out 50k a year.</p>
<p>My comment sounded a bit one sided towards bama and dayton, but I really do want to go to vandy or nd too. It’s just not as simple of a choice as you make it out to be. Vandy and ND both have things I don’t like about them. I just have to decide if those are things I could put up with for 4+ years.</p>
