Remind me - Why do we keep losing blue chip LDS recruits to Standford?

Parents are enamored with the degree

The connections you make at Stanford are worth it. It’s a no brainer imo

Meh, go there for grad school. Some kids like to win football games.

Agreed on this one, Stanford's undergrad student population is only about 6,500

You can't get a football scholarship out of HS for grad school.

And an undergrad degree in underwater basket weaving from Stanford really isn't worth much.

Vast majority of those kids couldnt get into a Stanford grad school

Nor could they get into undergrad if they apply as a non athlete.

Nope. That’s why the whole “connections” thing is kind of funny to me

Debatable. If you want to work in a Fortune 500 company or Silicon Valley maybe.

You're the one that made the ridiculous claim that Stanford and similar schools are better in all ways.

Oh - so you are the serious about the spouse thing. What a world. But you don’t

No need to be condescending. You value something different. And that’s ok.
