[quote=Anonymous]For all the quibbling, it is accurate to say that the AVERAGE student at a highly-ranked school is better academically than the AVERAGE student at a significantly lower-ranked school. While there are students at the higher-ranked school who might have lower test scores than the top student at a lower-ranked school, that is comparing apples and oranges. If one wants to complain about legacy, URM, and athletes at better schools, one must compare them to legacy, URM, and athletes at lower-ranked schools. Again, compare apples to apples. Finally, for those students who turn down Yale for a full ride at a much lower-rated school, the case doesn’t dispute that the AVERAGE student at Yale is better academically than at the alternative institution. Instead, it just means that they’re is some, perhaps little, overlap between the best students at lower-ranked schools and the low-end of the best schools. Even then, the education at the two schools is very different. [/quote]
