[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, smart students do make it. I like to think I'm one. But, if you do end up with a corporate career, it is so nice to have that elite school credential when you want to switch between industries. That's a real possibility given how fast relevant careers are shifting and I think more so true today than yesterday. Being rubber stamped as smart lasts your whole life. It's a nice luxury.[/quote] Yup, this is the value of an elite school in a nutshell.[/quote] Anyone in HR with brains knows that there are a lot of factors that go into what school someone chooses. A majority of my dd's friends have GPAs over 4.0, full IB diplomas, and top SAT scores, and they're only looking at in-state schools because that's all their parents are willing to pay for. The top student that chooses to go over $200k in debt for undergrad is not necessarily someone I would view as "smart."[/quote]
