Students need more self-awareness. Employment statistics from a college in a given major are for average students in that major from that college. Unless a student fits the criteria, his/her outcome could be very different. A college is highly unlikely to turn a below-average student into a star, but relatively speaking, I agree it’s probably more helpful to lower income students.

But it also won’t turn a top-end student into a mediocre one, even though that is the implied assumption when people post their their top-end students “need” to go to super-selective universities because the less selective ones have lower graduation rates or some such.
