[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If economics, for example, is taught from the same textbook at Princeton vs Penn State, what makes the Princeton classroom experience elite?[/quote] The difference might be the prof at Princeton wrote the textbook they are teaching from. The Penn state is using the textbook written by Princeton prof. This was my experience—and when you engage with the prof, you get much more nuance and the backstory of what wasn’t included. In addition, the access to the networks or lab research or studies that professor does. It’s not unusual for a professor to take on one or two undergrads in their labs. And then a rec like that for grad school would open other doors. This was my son’s experience. [/quote]
