[quote=Anonymous]I think most of the bad outcome derives from the poor experience of the student in the bottom percentile at an elite institution. That student feels like an impostor. Unable to cope. Not worthy of the credential. Turned off by their field, their major, their life choices. After working hard just to get there. It must be tremendously deflating. I’d liken it to young adults entering a bad job market. Some of the documented lifetime income loss comes from lack of work. But I bet a lot of it stems from that feeling of incompetence. Why am I living in mom’s house? Why can’t I even get a job at Walmart or Starbucks? Am I really an adult? Just one thought on the internalized harm from having a hard time in college. [/quote]
