[quote=Anonymous]There are those who want their kids to go to an elite college for bragging rights or for a head start to greater wealth. For them, it is no different than getting in to the right country club. They might be a slim majority at the Ivies. Then there are others whose children aspire to be public intellectuals, researchers, scientists, and academics. To them, the point is to learn how to produce great ideas and elite colleges surround them with classmates, faculty, and resources to achieve those goals. In addition, there are only a handful of fully funded grad programs that get most of their new PhDs hired for tenure track jobs and nearly all of their grad students come from other elite colleges and SLACs.
