| One thing the study doesn't and possibly can't correct for is institutional bias. For example, I go to U-Florida (MBA) and I know there are many people at this school who have the stats to go to top 15 professional schools but due a UF bias, they decide to stay in Gainesville for their entire academic career. Maybe they are going to med school and theit parents are alumni? For example, look at the MBA GMAT scores for UF- they encroach on top 15 territory. In fact, I'm not so sure that if a UF professional school grad intend to stay in the state, the value added of going to a school in the top 15 (especially at the lower end of the 15) would make a difference 5 or 10 years out of school. |
