Should you incur substantial debt for dream school or even pay the "dream" tuition?

If you’re arguing perfection, we can just agree that nothing is perfect and call it a day. But the discussion was based on responding to the perception that some school may better prepare/position a student for top grad school than others. As I believe that third party groups best prepare a student for standardized admission tests I’ve concentrated on what a college is involved with and that is someone’s G.P.A. and class rank.

Yeah, but if that perception is not valid then there is no point in continuing.</p>

<p>Since you brought up Fulbright students, this might be a good time to highlight psych_'s point in post #335. Many top Fulbright producers are not necessarily highly selective or highly expensive. The same goes for other major scholarships.</p>
