Really, who’s to say that any of the elites will be better than the free ride? Evidence is pretty clear that the success cake is baked in HS. High achieving students do well anywhere. Not one, but two professors at an extremely elite tech school told my son that he would not be well served going there. The rankings have us hoodwinked into thinking that the most popular schools (that’s what the most selective means essentially) are the best. It’s done a disservice to the whole process.
