The concept underlying the question in the OP implies a monolithic/homogeneous nature of the institutions involved and the students who attend them that doesn’t comport with reality. I have seen that concept several times in different threads here recently which is surprising to me.
This discussion also seems to give credence to the notion that there is a meaningful, objective difference between 1 v 8 in a list that literally includes thousands. I have seen that play out numerous times here so while it surprised me the first time I saw it, I no longer find it so.
