Do Harvard people go around making similar comparisons with graduates from MIT too? Look our BA makes more than your BA. LOL.
By the way, kids who earn 700+ in all sections of the SAT graduate without debt at TAMU too, make tons of money and live in bigger homes that cost a lot less than homes around Boston. They are on President Endowed scholarships at TAMU, so graduate without debt even if their parents are making mid six figures or even 7 figure + incomes. So why not tell the parents this and see where they would rather send their kids?
People who have a financial incentive to send kids to an Ivy league are those making less than $100,000 or more than a million.
As far as the BA to BA comparison is concerned, many high potential kids will not earn a BA at TAMU just like most kids at MIT don’t earn BAs they earn a BS. This is because at TAMU one can earn a BA in Economics, for example, without taking too much math, science and Econometrics. However, those who earn a BS in Economics have to take calculus, Statistics, Computer Science as well as Econometrics etc. Similarly, those kids who go to business and Engineering schools also don’t earn BAs. Is this why your study wants to compare Ivy BA’s with State U BA’s? LOL
