Is money the main factor in deciding on college?

I totally recognize that when someone makes a statement that “high-achieving kids do X” they’re talking about averages, not specifics—I honestly don’t see the problem in offering evidence-based (or even observation-based) generalizations as generalizations without tons of hedging.

Thank you. I guess as a former researcher and now clinical provider, I make assumptions that others would not immediately see. There are no absolute certainties. There are only probabilities. There are always anecdotal exceptions to the rule. I’m in no way saying that all high achievers in high school are all successful. I am saying that the majority are and that success is independent of where they go to school, speaking of the aggregate, not of individuals.
