For international students “prestige” does count unfortunately. A top student who wants to study in the US will want to brag about the school too.

It takes guts and dedication (and foresight and intelligence) to decide to go to Swarthmore for instance, instead of Harvard – when both want the student.

So I think, for Americans, it’s a luxury to be in a position to choose LAC’s over HYP. I know I’m being provocative here, but I hope you know what I mean.
