[quote=Anonymous]I know that there has been at least one study which indicates that high-performing students, from middle and upper-class backgrounds, who attend state schools, largely do as well as those who attend Ivies. The poor, working-class and under-represented minorities seem to benefit the most from Ivies (or elite privates, in general). I think there was a catch though: the state schools included the study are relatively selective, "nationally ranked," state schools. My assumption is that if you include little-known, regional, commuter schools, the assumption no longer holds. In the end, a lot of it comes down to socioeconomic backgrounds.[/quote]
