<p>But you realize that there really is not a significant difference between a top 50 school, and a top 15 school, other than the bragging rights? (And one of my kids is at a HYPSM and my other is going to a top 5 LAC (which many have never heard of). My bragging rights for the first are a lot better than for the second. But my opinion on which one is getting the better education? Another story. </p>
