<p>Your teacher is wrong. o_O</p>
<p>Students who get into Yale and also get into Amherst have a hard choice. And Yale isn’t the one to win every time, far from it. Students who get into their state flagship and a good LAC also have a hard choice to make and depending on majors &financial aid, the choice is not obvious at all.</p>
<p>Your teacher may be confusing community colleges and LACs…</p>
