"You should go to a Top __ School"; how important do you think ranking is?

<p>You would be missing out on some AMAZING colleges if you only did #40 and above. </p>

<p>These are all amazing schools ranked below 40</p>

<p>Trinity College
Union
Occidental
St. Olaf
Sarah Lawrence
Muhlenberg
Kalamazoo
Goucher
New College of Florida.</p>

<p>Some of these are some of the best schools in the country even though US News says otherwise. And the craziest part is, if these schools decided to magically reject 90% of the people who apply, they would skyrocket to the top 40 ranking that your parents desire.</p>
