Haha LSU has one of the highest acceptance rates in the country.

.....and the only way to bring down that acceptance rate is by having more people apply.

Like many schools, LSU promotes itself in a variety of ways, and is very liberal with application fee wavers, because they want as many students as possible applying. Why? So they can reject more students.

This gives the appearance of the school being more selective and this drives up the median standardized test scores.

Like many schools, LSU is gaming the rankings. Every instituion does it in some way and every institution denies it.

If you were famous & rich, you would need to take some common sense steps. Perhaps, on the same acerage, you have a house for another family member who can keep an eye on things. You have a top tier security system and maybe periodic security guard visits. You have to do something.

Would I go 400K in debt to send my kid to Rice? No. I would for Stanford/Harvard/MIT/Yale/Princeton. If you have planned for this and/or you can cash flow the payments, it will be the best money you have ever spent.

It is upsetting to many people, but your kid will have opportunities that won't be available to others.

My youngest son graduated from a US News top 5 university last May. In a funky job market with most recent grads struggling to find anything related to their major, he is making a strong 6-figure base salary in a job he loves. There is no doubt where he got his degree played a huge part in this. I never felt better than when I made those tuition payments.

Third thread on this. Neither of the Texas schools are a paragon of heterosexuality. Both are an embarrassment

All universities have some gay students.

Only one university forces a culture of violent homoeroticism on the entire student body.

I live in the Bainbridge Island area. There is a massive sub base nearby. Most of the Uber drivers around here are Navy guys making money in their spare time. I've talked to several "nukes" and they all hate it.I was surprised by this...it always sounded like an interesting gig to me.
