<p>I don’t think she needs the Ivy League for graduate school. While the Ivy League have some formidable graduate programs, they are by no means the only options. Regardless of her graduate school interests, she will have several top 10 graduate programs in her very own conference (the Big 10) to consider. Chicago and Michigan have top 5 Law schools, Northwestern is not far behind. Kellogg and Booth are top 5 MBA programs, Michigan is not far behind. Michigan and Chicago have top 10 Medical schools, Northwestern is not far behind. Michigan, UIUC and Purdue have top 10 Engineering programs, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Penn State are not far behind. And in virtually each traditional discipline, the Big 10 has a top 5 department and several top 10 departments. </p>
<p>I actually commend her for her article. Back in my day, getting into college was relatively straight forward. Now, it has become a game and universities are using students as pawns. I do not think there is anything wrong with students snapping back. Good for her!</p>
