[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/the-elite-college-myth-268c4371?st=zZtGi8&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink Excerpt from his new book. His basic point is that career paths are more affected by personal ties, such as what region you come from, than the brand of the school. He claims that Ivy-plus outcomes are no different than highly ranked public universities such as Texas, UCLA and Ohio State (although I wouldn't put Ohio in that list, LOL) for most fields. The problem, of course, is that in the DMV, desirable career paths are affected by the brand of the school, hence the worrying and lamentations on this board.[/quote] Are lower and middle-class family is going to get the same amount of assistance to go to Ohio State or UCLA as they do at rich need blind Private schools? Not sure but if you can get yourself into some top schools you can get significant financial assistance and a very fine education.[/quote]
