[quote=Anonymous]No. Students from more highly ranked schools do better on average, but that's because it's tougher to get in. When you adjust for admission, schools don't matter: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/who-needs-harvard/ "Krueger and Dale studied what happened to students who were accepted at an Ivy or a similar institution, but chose instead to attend a less sexy, “moderately selective” school. It turned out that such students had, on average, the same income twenty years later as graduates of the elite colleges. Krueger and Dale found that for students bright enough to win admission to a top school, later income “varied little, no matter which type of college they attended.” In other words, the student, not the school, was responsible for the success." I'd guess that wouldn't stand up to huge differences in qualify - e.g., CalTech vs. Cal State Fullerton - but you're asking about schools that are only slightly different.[/quote]
