[quote=Anonymous]I went to a state university for undergrad and an elite school for my PhD. My take is the graduates of the state school are every bit as good as those who graduate from the elite school. The difference is almost everyone admitted to the elite graduated, whereas the state school had a 70% attrition rate. Where it makes a difference is the kids at the elite school are more connected: they tend to be more affluent. The networking is stronger. This is particularly useful in certain fields. As a scientist, we do not care who you know, who your father (or mother) is, etc. We are more concerned with the ideas and concepts proffered. In that scenario, elites do not matter.[/quote]
