The third is a head scratcher: New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology! All the other schools on the top 50 list are private institutions. What I found most interesting (but not surprising) is that the majority of these schools -- 28 of them -- are liberal arts colleges. Students who attend liberal arts colleges enjoy many advantages that students at large public and private universities often don't. At liberal arts colleges, there is typically a far greater chance for undergraduate research. Classes are routinely small. Instead of hundreds in a lower-division science class, you may have 15 or 20 students. Students at colleges enjoy more of a chance to form connections with teachers because the learning doesn't take place in lecture halls. What's more, it's the professors who ultimately write those graduate school recommendations. Lynn O'Shaughnessy is the author of The College Solution and she also writes for TheCollegeSolutionBlog.

现在很多孩子都得上graduate school。最后毕业的学校是graduateschool的学校。相对本科学校可能就不那么重要了。另外上T5-10，竞争激烈，GPA那高分很难。孩子压力也大，可能影响学习兴趣和自信心（宁做鸡头不做凤尾）。非常犹豫要不要EDT5，还是顺其自然，RD去个T20学校，入学后不那么吃力。那个高GAP, 上好学校的graduateschool。我知道的很多名校PhD都不是本科名校的。另外，很多名校的master，其实就是本科学校一般的去镀金。master出来后也可以用校友资源。本科上藤值得吗？会不会起反作用？
如果选错。大不了结束后换个跑道，人生路长呢 LOL
attitude 比学校重要。
娃啥想法？

consultant 不给你拿这样的主意。他们都是技术性的。
我们倾向娃去个T20的学校，娃不甘心。但是高中的压力我们看在眼里，怕大学更厉害。我们也不在乎再出钱那个1-2年的master。
感觉你太小心了，要相信牛蛙恒牛
整天算计值不值花钱上藤的人，肯定不值。 上藤的人，都是不计较钱的人，有钱自己付，没钱藤校付。
T5 从来没有ED，只有EA，你可以放心大胆申请，RD再申请T20， 等都进了，再来讨论选择哪个
陈年旧事了，早就跟上时代的步伐了。
