[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fear and demographics are the mix.

Demographics mean more students chasing similar seat totals at the top 100 or so. Add TO and DEI into the mix and that is a big reason.

Fear is bigger though. Fear is what makes families buy into the top 30, top 50 BS - which in turn makes them push for higher grades/scores, more tutors, more everything - especially more applications.

One of the greatest cons in society is that a certain type or tier of college is needed to “make it”. It’s simply not true as studies have shown.[/quote]

100%  Just take a look at your co-workers, and the executives/uppermanagement at your company.  Odds are 75%+ did NOT attend an "elite" university.  Odds are you work side by side with some who attended an elite U and yet they are in the same position as you with approximately similar years of experience.  
Fact is those who are striving for a T25 and have the resume most likely also have the drive and determination and will achieve high success at State U ranked 150 just as much as if they attend a T25.  It's the person and the work they put in, not the university for 99% of it.
