<p>“Top” schools versus less expensive. I think most of us believe that talent always rises to the top and I agree 100%. I also believe there are a few major components that give you leg up by attending a “top” school and they are in no particular order:</p>
<p>Better Teachers
Better student body talent pool to learn from and with
Better access to managers, agents and casting people</p>
<p>I would compare the experience of attending a Harvard, Yale or Princeton and your goal is to become a CEO. Does it guarantee you will make it, of course not. Does it increase your chances if you are brilliant and also attend these schools, I would think so.</p>
