Attending any college generates opportunities. Every college has alumni networks.

So all colleges are the same with respect to job & career opportunities ?

Major matters much more

Post college salary is self reporting. So why would anyone care what the data is saying.

If it is not for you or your student that is OK. But for some kids, a very high level institution of higher learning is a very valuable resource nto help them reach their full potential.

These aren't super nerd cells, most admissions are on sports, legacy, affirmative action, donation, connection, fame quotas.

Ivies admit a big percentage of privileged so they can remain ivies. They don't want to become CalTech, CMU, MIT, Rice, Hopkins type academic powerhouses.

School doesn't matter as much as major

Major schools in Boston area

1 MIT: $111K
2 Boston College: $93K
3 Harvard: $85K
4 Northeastern: $80K
5 Boston University: $76K
6 Brandeis: $70K
7 Tufts: $67K

Its below BC and not significantly higher than NEU

By definition, Harvard and Yale are no longer top universities.

Both opted to withdraw from the USNWR ratings.

There are nerds in abundance, including needs from all those groups. It's wonderful and many take very good advantage of the opportunities available.

LOL

Keep telling yourself that. People who ONLY use things like USNWR ratings to evaluate the quality of a school are relying on very limited criteria. It’s helpful, sure, but it doesn’t define “top” in and of itself.

I'd love it if they did it for undergraduate followed by Princeton, Stanford, etc. That might cause it to crumble.

It is associated with those who have federally backed student loans. It is not all students.

I'm sure they sent their own children to third tier directional schools in order to open spots for kids who could better benefit

Irrelevant to the importance of the study.
