Unless your children want to become fluent in the sciences (engineering, medicine) college is to some extent useless. Success in business is more often a case of "who you know" not "what you know". Transferring in later to a name brand school is easier than being accepted right off the bat. With so much pressure put on kids to get things right the first time, all the time does a great disservice to them in the long run. A long term strategic approach to many schools gives your child more options to find out what they (not the parents...) want to do first, then get into the right school that matches their own goals. Most readers may remember how things started Freshman Year at "X" career only to end up somewhere else either later as a Junior, or even post graduate.
