Tired of the word "Prestige?"

<p>My son is a HS senior & a “free spirit” in the sense that he hasn’t a clue about what he wants to do or be yet. He loves learning for the sake of learning & is hoping to find a school with an environment that encourages the full discussion & exploration of ideas & I hope he finds it! He searched carefully for schools where he feels he’ll be happy & we still await decisions but he didn’t choose them based on “prestige” or any “ranking.”
I agree it does depend on the circles the student hangs out in; my son doesn’t discuss the schools he applied to with others. We shall wait & see how things evolve.</p>

<p>When a HS senior is starting to worry about LSATs, s/he needs to get a life. These are the very kids who graduate from law school only to find they hate the profession & haven’t a clue as to what they really want from life & what they want to DO for a living. (I’ve met several of them in law school & in the profession.)</p>
