Re: Rant about education systems

I mean, honestly, this is going to sound harsh, but have you considered that you're just looking at the wrong schools to suit your needs?

I agree. I get the frustration (admissions often are pretty arbitrary, says the daughter of a professor who has worked in graduate admissions) but I definitely still agree.

Neither of the schools I attended - for my undergrad and master's degree - were places I expected to wind up, and I chose them partially because they accepted me and offered me funding, but they turned out to be very good places for me to be.

Also, it's important to consider how much where you go to school matters in the kinds of jobs you're likely to be applying for after graduation. In my field, going to a prestigious school really doesn't buy you much, so unless you are such a hot-shot that the school is going to waive a big chunk of your tuition, it makes more sense to look at state schools and other less-expensive options.
