[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume that person is a hard worker whose parents weren't rich and privileged.  You have to work a lot harder to prove yourself if you don't have an elite college on your resume.[/quote]

Or I assume they may have struggled in HS for some reason or that they were rich and privileged and didn't do well or care much in HS. I'm 35 and an Ivy grad and where someone went to college rarely registers one way or another for me. Why would I judge someone on how well they did in school and on a standardized test between the ages of 14-18? At this point, so many owe their college success to sports, legacy status, tutors, writing experts, etc. Why should they get credit for their parents' ability to throw money at getting them into college?

Just take people for who they are and what they can bring to the table. Open your mind! [/quote]

WTF. I know a ton of lower income people with sky high GPA and SAT and ACT scores. They pick colleges on who is paying the most.

My Widowed mom with Four kids has a net worth of zero and a 9k income and I picked school that paid the most. Only criteria. I would have picked Catholic University over Harvard of deal was right. [/quote]
