The only way to stop this nonsense is to just say no.



Or, to put it another way, Just Say Yes to hundreds, I mean, thousands of schools who aren’t on the so-called A-list but have terrific programs, outstanding professors, and inspiring student bodies. Some of the individual programs at such schools exceed the quality of similar programs at the A-list schools.

Just say Yes to discovery.
Just say Yes to individuality.
Just say Yes to learning all these secrets.

Just say No to peer pressure and peer “information.” (Sometimes I think this is actually far more determinative of college-list-making than even parental pressure. At least, that has been my experience in my position.)
