Or even better, realize it doesn’t really matter if your kid goes to a T20.  [/quote]

It does though. Prestige and connections are worth a LOT.[/quote]
Numerous studies show this is not true.  Especially for STEM.    [/quote]

OK--then why are people posting on a next door thread that the best way to get in from a WL is to have a donor make a call for your kid? if that isnt a connection i dont know what is.

Huh?  [/quote]

I was lost by that transition too.

The existence of development admits doesn’t deny the existence of studies showing that, for most, selectivity of their college doesn’t significantly alter earnings after other variables have been controlled.

But on the topic of development admits, I feel sorry for those kids. Such a weird message for a parent to send. I think it would undermine the child’s confidence in their own ability to become self-sufficient. Tracking development admits would be an interesting longitudinal study of its own. Would not surprise me if the practice causes more harm than benefit, even for the student getting in. The few times I’ve seen it happen those students and their parents seemed uneasy at graduation festivities. [/quote]
