[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll give you another story. I grew up solidly middle class. My parents were lower-middle class. When my sibling and I graduated from T10 universities, the entire trajectory of our family changed for the better. We are now solidly upper/upper-middle class, in extremely well-paying, "prestigious", creative white collar jobs, and I'm 100% positive that my sibling and I were only able to achieve our present stature because of where we went to school. Some of us don't have the privilege of going to a no-name school and coasting off of our parents' connections and networks (or institutional knowledge).[/quote] This is the exact reason top schools are seeking first Gen and URM. Those are the kids that studies show benefit most from an Ivy (or the like) education.[/quote]
