@Morgan4 Congrats on getting into MoHo and your scholarship! I had the same thing said to me from people at my college prep school (about going to a no name school). People that know colleges know MoHo. My mother works for a fortune 500 company and travels all over the world, everyone she works with knows MoHo. Same with my father(everyone he works with knows MoHo). The people that matter, ie grad schools, employers will know MoHo. Like mibsprincess said, people really don’t know top LACs. When I said something about Amherst College at my high school, everyone thought it was UMass-Amherst. A school like MoHo has a very strong alumni network as well. I don’t want to say negative things about other colleges, but my father attended BU and has said the alumni network isn’t that strong (he also attended it for grad school, so it may be different).
Hope this helps!
