[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who don’t think a good school matters are the ROI/tech folks. They think that a high-paying job is the litmus test for a successful college experience. People who aim go to highly-selective school value more than a big salary. Sure, they want that, but are first and foremost interested in the educational experience and the quality of the student peer group. Students at the best schools “know” they will make bank, if they want to, thus it’s not the focus of their education, but a result of it. Firms who hire kids from the best schools want smart, interesting, socially adept kids who have demonstrated leadership, teamwork, and persistence. A kid with an English, history, or Econ degree who might also be a college/club athlete will do just as well or better than a CS major at state U. [/quote]

LOL no those schools are full of ALDC previlleged kids, and those kids major in easy stuff.
(i.e. recently 43% of Harvard White kids are ALDC)

You actually find those kids in a tier lower schools like T20-50.

Exactly. If an unhooked kid goes to Harvard and majors in something easy, they are screwed. [/quote]
