[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm reading The Inequality Machine: How College Divides Us by Paul Tough, & in it, he delves into the research on this specific Q. Apparently, for first gen URM low income students where specifically a student attends undergrad has a really dramatic impact. Tough highlights research that Raj Chetty (of Stanford and now Harvard) did about social mobility and how likely one is to end up in the Top 1% of earners based on the selectivity of college they attended. The difference between an Ivy level & the next tier of schools was significant. You should read the book - it's fascinating & very readable.[/quote] Does he factor in how much those students actually paid to go to school? Did they get significant financial assistance to the point where it was the same as a state school or were they paying 20K a year? [/quote]
