[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've recommended this book before -- The Years That Matter Most: How College Makes or Breaks Us, by Paul Tough. He explains how this is actually what the top colleges are: social incubators that require a certain amount of exclusivity.

The students who attend an Ivy ready to work really hard and get top grades don't get it when the rich kids who did none of the work get the plum internships upon recommendation of the professor after hanging out in office hours. Top colleges are about networking, they aren't a community college career training program. With that being the case, well, you don't let everyone into skull and bones. [/quote]

Professors hate rich kids and don't have any motivation or incentive to recommend dumb rich kids for internships.

Def not true at some schools where the profs are in business/industry and know your CEO dad.
[/quote]Non-business school professors don't have any connections and can only help people with roles in academia. Unless you're going to Wharton or Stern, you won't be meeting any of them any time soon. [/quote]
