[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer is “yes,” but 99 percent of posters want it to be “no.”[/quote] You’ve got it reversed. The college obsessed parents here want assurances that their kids will remain at the top of the pecking order in a country that is shifting in many ways toward greater equality. Thus, they need to believe that a stamp from a top school will be the magic item to assure that. It is weird.[/quote] Actually it's not just the "stamp from a top school." It's the connections. Many of these schools have amazing alumni networks. This means a grad doesn't have to work as hard to find good employment. Will they be more successful than the kid from a lower ranked school? Not necessarily...but they do have more opportunities to become successful.[/quote] Privilege.[/quote]
