[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s also no way of knowing if a person who is “successful” (again by some subjective measure you decide is meritorious) can attribute that solely due to where they decided to attend college. There are too many complex interacting factors to determine this.[/quote]

It’s not ethical to promote “exclusivity” by raising prices and selling the illusion that the investment guarantees better outcomes. Still haven't seen the rational explanation on why this price tag[/quote]

Maybe because that price is what it takes to operate the college?[/quote]

But they teach pretty much the same stuff since decades ago, no?[/quote]

Do you also think all high schools are created equal since they teach the same classes?[/quote]

Isn’t that supposed to be the goal—serving the public good? If not, what’s the point of schools? Honestly, most of what we learn here can be learned anywhere in other developed countries. I don’t see a real difference. Truly intelligent kids will take the lead and keep improving themselves, especially now with AI tools.

You could argue that peers matter—and sure, they do—but AI tools already replace a lot of shallow, unintellectual conversation. People with real critical-thinking ability will continue to thrive as technology advances. Knowledge just isn’t geographically or schools (ranking) exclusive anymore. [/quote]

Is this really your life experience?  UMD or MIT,  control for SAT, same outcomes? [/quote]
