We had a heated discussion about this a year or so ago- (heated! THe threads self-destructed) One position was that grad school mattered more, while people who attended an elite university undergrad said it mattered a lot, like it or not. U of R is considered a top notch regional university, but I don't know that we would have known of it if I hadn't gone there, where Stanford and Rice are nationally ranked. I mostly want him to find a place that he feels comfortable and challenged and happy. I loved U of R and had an ideal college experience there. I don't think extremely ambitious, high-achieving, must have the best, people are any happier or more content than we mere mortals-perhaps a tad more self-congratulatory. I feel sorry for the student in Yuppieville whose parents try to buy him high SAT scores and top colleges, when the child would be happier at Tx A&M with his buds. He knows he's letting them down somehow. Really the choice is out of our hands now-my last demand is that he attend every college that invites him for a visit so that he can make a fair assessment.
