The top universities are much more incentivized for you to succeed because they've already invested in you. Comparing friends who went to state schools and never got extensions or mental health help to friends who went to Ivy League schools and finished projects for some classes a year late... It's a little ridiculous how much "help" or outright cheating happens at higher tier schools.
- tedunangst 11y agoI don't know if this division actually works, but one might separate colleges by how much a student is worth to them before and after graduating. I assume degree mills receive exactly zero from graduates. Ivy schools sometimes receive enormous gifts from graduates, often decades after they graduate. It is in the school's financial interest to keep standards high, in order to continue collecting checks from the class of 1950. Tuition is almost just a down payment on a lifetime of giving.
