Williams is frattier and has better lifetime prospects. Still, I think it’d be damn nice to be able to go to college in the Berkshires. I did not, because I am not preftigious.

Also, I am lolling internally about the trip home from Western Mass to O’ahu for winter break, spring break, summer. That’s a hike.

I didn’t have a car when I was in college. Once, there was a hurricane and I got a ride with someone, but he lived like 4 counties over, soi got dropped off somewhere that was like 45 mins south of the Penna Turnpike. I waited like 3 hours sitting on a dufflebag on the parking lot of a Sheetz without a dollar to my name for my mom’s husband at the time to show up in a panel van and drive me the rest of the way into town.

I’m so glad we have a system that allows rich trans biracial kids from Hawaii to experience life as a NESCAC student in rural New England. I’m sure zhe will really benefit from the strong alumni network when zhe returns to Hawaii and or California and this will not be a stupid waste of money or sign of small liberal arts colleges destroying themselves in the name of DEI at all. Much better that your child should get that spot than the Groton-educated child of a doctor/lawyer couple who met at Amherst and live in Concord!

My kids aren’t college aged and I went to a better college that was not a LAC. I also went to boarding school and know tons of people who ended up at top and middle-tier LACs.

I’m remarking on the decline of prestige/tradition at these small-but-good LACs. Place like Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, Middlebury, etc. SHOULD be for the above average kid at Hotchkiss, Deerfield, Andover, etc. who is going to work in NYC or maybe Boston or DC—not randoms from the rest of the country who are LARPING as some kind of New Englander or Mid-Atlantic person with no understanding of the history/culture of these schools. I get them wanting to apply to Harvard, MIT, Columbia—those are national/international schools in urban areas with good grad programs too. But it’s weird to me that some quirky trans kid from Hawaii with a not-snobby dad and a crackhead mom would be all that interested in a tiny college in rural Massachusetts that basically exists to credential a very specific part of east coast elite.

Stephen Collins was born on October 1, 1947, in Des Moines, Iowa, to mother Madeleine (née Robertson) and father Cyrus Stickney Collins, an airline executive.[3][4] Collins was raised with his two older brothers in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, and attended Amherst College in Massachusetts, graduating cum laude.[5] While at Amherst, he played bass guitar in a number of bands.[6] He was also then a singing member of the Amherst College Zumbyes.

...

Collins is an Episcopalian[20] and a practitioner of Transcendental Meditation (TM) and has taken part in the advanced TM Yogic Flying technique since 1980.[21] Until October 2014, he was a national co-director of the Committee for Stress-Free Schools, which advocates practicing TM in schools and funds TM research.[22]

...

In a December 2014 interview with People, Collins admitted that he committed "inappropriate sexual conduct with three female minors" in 1973, 1982, and 1994.[1][2]

Growing up I recall the Amherst/Williams/Swarthmore trio having prestige roughly on par with lower Ivies (except Cornell, which is/was a TTT), particularly among the East Coast UMC. Not sure that holds anymore but it's still a good school. Also prestige matters significantly less than it used to.

Was trying to put my finger on it — who would pick NYU or fucking Tufts or Oberlin over Amherst?

And do the same people even apply to state flagships and Amherst? Very little overlap. State flagships are sometimes the best option but the Peddie kids going to Amherst aren’t applying to UConn.

It’s been the case for 30 years that these are better/more selective and prestigious schools than any school other than HYPSM as long as you back out weird modern anomalies like foreign born Asians applying to UCLA en masse and dropping their acceptance rate to 2%.

I didn't post on the college board and none of the debate kids I went to summer camp with were targeting "AWS" and no one I met in biglaw did either. They mostly represented top high schools across the USA (non-stem). Maybe it's just weird selection bias for law and policy gunners. No idea but AWS sounds really prestigious though

I don't know how much money EPAH has, but my half-assed guess is that he's in a spot where $400k is still meaningful, which means it's worth considering alternatives, like a $200k school and setting up the kid with $200k for a house, business, or whatever.

LACs had appeal during a more genteel time when a Williams grad could walk into a wall st firm, but really don't make sense anymore unless your kid is dying to get a PhD, which he shouldn't. These schools' names alone don't get you anywhere these days.

Amherst is still prestigious in select circles, but Occidental is the worst of all worlds: small alumnus network, academically mediocre student body, and without any kind of name recognition.

but if zhe is not that smart and just wants to chill then occidental would be fine.

amherst is for smart people who are trying in an academic nerd sense. its not a "rich kid" school in the way that, say, trinity is.

amherist is for intellectual strivers. so you know whether zhe would like that or not

Spending hundreds of thousands for an obscure LAC doesn’t make sense in 2024. Those schools are really just for poor kids who can get a free ride and the wealthy for whom tuition is meaningless. UMC kids should really only spend that kind of money for HYPS. If they can’t get into HYPS then a good flagship or really any flagship is better than Amherst tier schools.

epah's from hawaii right? flagships are great if you're from fucking michigan or virginia or california or something.

obviously amherst is gay but umass also is fucking terrible. the only good new england flagship is UVM and it's not because UVM is a good school.

That post make me think about the time I visited my cousin at Brandeis when I was a senior in high school. Within minutes of my arrival I had established myself as the alpha of his dorm.

It's the least obscure college on earth because everyone has to be told that their friend at UMass-Amherst isn't at Amherst and vice versa. It's like the first thing you learn about colleges in the northeast.

Obscure schools no one ever shits on would be Bowdoin and Bates.

I did the TTT undergraduate -> elite graduate program route that EPAH took. (Oddly, we both attended the same TTT and the same elite school at the same time, although completely different fields of study.) Honestly, based on both studies on the subject and my own personal experience, I don't think spending tons of money for an elite school is worth it unless you are gunning for banking/finance or MBB-tier consulting or something like that. If you want to work at McKinsey or Goldman Sachs, then of course you spend the money at HYPS (or AWS) as the case may be. You could be the #1 student in the past 30 years at Utah State or Hawaii and your resume at Goldman will go straight into the trash once they see the TTT on your education line. And certain nonprofit/government jobs are also prestige whores. Good luck being accepted to (for example) TFA if you didn't attend an Ivy-tier school.

But I'm not sure how much it helps for any other career route. It's probably easier to get a job at a prestigious employer from an elite school's OCI, but top students at good state schools can still land jobs at FAANG (for example). If you are applying to grad school, it may actually be easier to be admitted from a state school, simply because many grad programs (particularly law and medicine) only care about GPA, and it is generally easier to get a 4.0 at Utah State than it is at Amherst. If you are going the PhD route, having someone famous write you a letter can help, but is hardly a requirement. I attended the top PhD program in my discipline, and there were a lot more state school graduates than Ivy-tier graduates.

Studies have also shown that students who are admitted to elite schools but turn them down in favor of state schools have very similar outcomes to those who attended elite schools. So the quality of the student seems to be much more important than the quality of the school. The one possible exception is that students from poor families who attend elite schools may do slightly better than they would at a state school, but that is not the case for EPAH's family.

So it's a tough call. If the kid loves Amherst and EPAH is in a position where spending $200k on tuition won't hurt his finances, that's fantastic. But it's doubtful that his kid will have a less successful life if he were to attend Hawaii for free, so there is no shame going that route, either.

only you know your kid so try to take this objectively rather than deflect with some superior 'k bud' dad smirking.

-if your child is actually smart and academically inclined, by all means. never been better to be at one of those schools with their background. but if they got in for DEI handicapping, consider looking up the low achievement rates of diversity admits and particularly blacks when they matriculate to elite schools and career tracks. granted, that issue is diluted a bit in your child's scenario but even avowedly liberal black social scientists have pointed out the 'designed to fail' nature of soft admissions for appealing minority applicants. this afflicts middle class and UMC black students about as badly as the ghetto tokens.

-also consider that elite colleges are rife with permissive and coaxing substance abuse and your offspring may carry addictive tendencies as a feature of genetics. they're also potentially more traumatized by their mother's involvement in their lives than you realize. don't go on attack mode and suggest i am saying you don't understand that in the primary sense. i am saying that kind of emotional distress as a kid plus addiction genes plus east coast boarding school culture means your kid has access to hard drugs pretty easily if they want them and that's worth considering. parents naturally have a blindspot or willing disbelief that their kids are particularly vulnerable to substance abuse. anecdotally i see examples of this all the time.

consider pushing toward a wholesome and high quality state flagship or tiny specialty school. outcomes won't be much different and amherst mostly flatters everyone's ego at some risk unless your kid truly is in it for the scholarship.

We're long past the world of nerds at elite colleges. This isn't the 1960s-1990s era of the bright nerdy kid getting into an elite Eastern university or LAC and coming out a brilliant professor or scientist or lawyer.

It's a very different world at these schools now. See the link to the transfers at Swarthmore. Only one was a nerd. It's no accident. I concur with an earlier poster that the prestige of elite schools have fallen sharply as a result, even if it's taking some time to properly manifest itself. The faculty themselves are very different from 20 years ago. They're not inherently bad places and there's still virtue to going to Amherst as well as any of the Ivies but wiser people in hiring markets are now much more careful about who they hire with a recent elite school diploma. The top half of the classes are still highly accomplished but the bottom 50% diversity admits are weeded out brutally. I read an observation that much of the SJW movement post 2015 was really due to the failures of diversity admits once they hit the real world and couldn't understand why their white/asian classmates were doing so much better, and there's truth to it. They tried to avoid more reality with DEI, but even DEI is starting to come to an end.

it's a different culture and they're big enough that you can find your own crowd if binge drinking is not your focus. at a school with 3500 total students it is a lot more isolating if you don't mesh with the dominant culture. kids less into drinking than ever but prescription med abuse and other drugs have skyrocketed.

Thanks for the thoughtful comments man. I’m sure that checking black gave him a boost, but he’s almost as smart as me just as it is, but works harder. Academically he’ll be fine.

Also, my oldest ones are so scared of addiction I’m 100% certain he’s not going to drink or do drugs, and like a guy below says, I highly doubt that the prevalence of substance abuse is higher at LACs than big state U

Average SAT at Amherst is 1500. If your kid has a much lower score, I don't think he should go. He will feel dumb compared to his classmates and it could result in toxic feelings of alienation, low self esteem and perceived racism during freshman year.

Thanks man. I'm forgetting exactly, but he got pretty close to that. Maybe 1480 or something. He’s pretty bright and also a grinder; he’s almost sure to be the valedictorian of his HS class. That’s how I felt at SLS, but you get used to it, and I ended up striving my way to just short of coif. Last, were libs at heart, but we don’t blame things on racism. My kids are all against AA for example bc they don’t think it’s fair.

SLS is a completely different beast from being an undergraduate even at HYPS. I forget the exact numbers, but even at HYPS, something like 50-60% of each incoming class is either legacy, recruited athlete, or affirmative action, who are all admitted under more lenient admission standards. Overall I was pretty underwhelmed with the quality of undergraduates at Stanford. There were a few really smart kids, but far more mediocre rich kids. I was a little intimidated by classmates in grad school, but it was immediately apparent that I was smarter than most of the undergrads there. Plus affirmative action is supposed to be illegal now, so I doubt that having a black parent is as big of a boost as it used to be.

I'm sure your kid would do fine at Amherst. The only reason not to go would be if he gets in somewhere better or if you decide it's not worth the money.
