So why do you think all these kids want to attend MIT? Couldnt they just attend some other school and be just as successful? They will make the same money and have access to the same opportunities attending San Jose State. All these kids with perfect SAT scores, extracurriculars foolishly thinking MIT may open more doors than just your college down the street. If they had just done their research they would have known they didn’t really need to take those 12 AP courses or win those science and math awards. They could have just gone to San Jose State with their 67% acceptance rate and not had to fret over whether they were admitted or not. And their ignorant parents who hired college counselors and SAT prep tutors - all of that was completely unnecessary.
You’ve completely convinced me that a MIT diploma carries the same weight in the job market as San Jose State.
Who knew?
