It’s not surprising, but it’s very important because all of the reasons are not obvious. Sure, access to the network of peers that comes with elite schools has long been known to be one of the biggest benefits of admission. But it’s also things like GPA not measuring EQ, or emotional intelligence. One example, at big companies that sell software, who do you think gets paid more (not counting founder status) the most talented and elite engineers, or the the most talented and elite sales people? Some here don’t realize it’s common for an enterprise sales rep to make more, sometimes way more, than a developer. I don’t know who has higher average GPAs but I’m guessing it’s STEM majors over business administration majors.
