回复：畅言-藤校 vs 专业在全国名列前茅的一所综合性大学

Because you 强调专业第一, 鼓励孩子放弃了某藤校, 进她可能选的专业在全国名列前茅的一所综合性大学.
Because 准备她变专业, you should let her go to Ivy with better overall reputation.

I persionally think school reputation trumps that of department for undergraduates, and department repution trumps that of school for graduates. All Ivy schools are 综合性大学. Undergraduate education just pays the foundation and it really does not matter much especially she plan t go to graduate school.
