I meant that for a student who wants to get a PHD investing in a top college (especially a LAC) makes sense, but if the realisticr goal is med school or law school then pro/cons need to be weighteds carefully depending on the school. Anything in Fiske, insider’s, etc, would be fine IMHO, but too great a difference between op and most students and without a numerical mass of at least 100 honors kid per graduating class would likely be suboptimal if not detrimental.
