[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t prove Ivy League schools matter. You can argue it’s the high student caliber in those schools that led to the results.[/quote]

When these schools corner the market on high student caliber, the result is the same. 
There schools studied have the maximum density if you will of superior minded students, everywhere: classrooms, labs, clubs. 
Though I suppose one could add Caltech, Northwestern and JHU to the ivy+ schools studied: based on pre-test optional data they are likely essentially the same student population.

Caltech provides something Americans don’t respect: rigorous education and a dedication towards improving science, not for profit, but for humanity’s sake. There’s a reason the American people adore MIT as a bastion for intellectual science while having never heard of Caltech- MIT provides all the useful tech for bombing others, stealing our data, creating polarizing media. Meanwhile Caltech students disproportionately receive PhDs and go in to the less profitable route of academia to improve our society. [/quote]
Plenty of Caltech grads work under the DoD's funding[/quote]
