- gumby 8y agoIf only that were true in the USA for the "top end" schools. In many other countries that is the case.
- marssaxman 8y agoWhere you go to school matters quite a lot if what you're there to do is meet the kind of people who go to that kind of school.

- jjeaff 8y agoExcept the data and studies I am familiar with don't bare that out. There was no statistical increase in future earnings comparing those that went to an ivy league vs students who got in to ivy league but ended up going somewhere else. * And that doesn't take into account the fact that the ivy league probably cost a lot more. *There was actually a small income boost for ivy league for minorities.
