[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people who struggled emotionally/socially at different Ivies. I also know people who blossomed/thrived at colleges that are looked down upon by people on this board (little known LAC’s, regional state schools). And it’s probably safe to say that may of us have colleagues who never set foot on an Ivy campus or at any T-25 school or SLAC who are doing extremely well. [/quote] Anecdotes vs statistical evidence. DCUM also struggles to understand the difference, which is a sign of low IQ.[/quote] Not disputing the advantages of an Ivy. Just saying it’s not the best-all or end-all. And it’s not the only thing out there.[/quote] Accurate. Other studies show little/no impact (this study addresses that as well) and, as noted earlier, the relative impact in this study is large but the probabilities of achieving what is being measured (top 1 percent income, elite grad school) are still low.
