If one comes from a financially and socially insecure background, then it does not make sense to choose Williams or Amherst over Harvard or Yale. If one comes from a financially and socially secure background, then it does not matter, to an extent, where one goes.)

What Kwu may be referring to is one conclusion in the Krueger-Dale study: the prestige of a college is more <em>financially</em> important to students of lower socio-economic status (SES) than to those of higher SES.</p>
