@badminton4life Well that’s good. I was thinking more along the lines of, if you attended one of the top colleges in the country would that be good enough or is only Harvard, Yale and Princeton worthy? I ask because some people think only 3-5 BS are good enough to be considered( some even think just one is worthy). The thing with that is, they might not get in and then they shut a door that might have been available had they considered the top 25, or the top 50 schools. Believe me, kids at all of the top BS schools get a great education. Some of the schools I have never heard of in my life, like Thacher seem to be quite difficult to get into. There must be a reason there is such high demand (beyond the location on the West coast). I’ll bet quite a few of their kids are going to excellent colleges. I’d keep an open mind. My kid had two choices (one a very well known name and another). The choice came down to what was the best fit. I’m confident there is a path from there to anywhere.
