<p>skateboarder, although I’m clearly biased (<em>cough</em> look under my SN <em>cough</em>), I happen to think you absolutely made the wrong choice :slight_smile: Just sayin’.</p>

<p>Sure, you can be successful no matter WHERE you go . . . IF you work really hard and are really talented.<br>

  • Fact: talented, smart, hardworking kids generally choose to go to top schools (if they can).<br>
  • Fact: if you go to a top 10 school, you WILL have better “opportunities” (more interviews, better career services, higher recruitment).<br>
  • Fact: you would have to work much harder to find a job on Wall Street coming out of a Tier 2 than coming out of Harvard.</p>

<p>Done.</p>
