[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to compare public universities (from the NYT): Students from top 1% of families Michigan 9.3% Virginia 8.5% Illinois 2.5% Penn State 2.3% Wisconsin 1.7% Students from top 10% of families Michigan 49% Virginia 49% Illinois 30% Penn State 27% Wisconsin 19%[/quote] Because the students skew much smarter and intelligence does correlate with income, in some fashion. Physicians and lawyers are hardly the most high paid people ever, but the professions are common, they do earn 200-300k on average, and entry to the profession is test-based in part: smart kids test better on average. Smarter parents are more likely to have top 1/4 kids at least, who aim for top flagships (and top privates). Then of course add in all the SES factors that push the same cycle forward. [/quote]
