[quote=Anonymous]The idea of “elite colleges” is a myth. If you buy into it, you’re only fooling yourself. The classification of “elite” dates back to the time when these schools catered to children of wealthy families, to the children of society’s “elite”. To this day what separates elite colleges is their wealth, but that really doesn’t define any student’s educational experience. Students get out of college what they put into it. Colleges don’t do something to them. What they can do for them is limited even at schools which provide extra opportunities because these are late adolescents, each with their own quirks, inclinations and abilities. I say this as someone with 2 kids at “elite” colleges.[/quote]
