[quote=Anonymous]Elite college admissions work like a stamp of quality: get into an elite, and you have been vetted — employers can count on some degree of literacy and intelligence. The effort & money is well spent for the stamp of approval alone. Some degree programs work like that, too, e.g. Illinois engineering, Carnegie Mellon computer science. For most other colleges, the admission and degree don't provide that. You have to rely on hard work and demonstrated ability to convince employers and grad schools that you can think and lead -- not unfair, but certainly not as easy as being accepted from the word go.[/quote]
