Thought provoking post Etondad,

But isn’t it equally likely that first generation students who have lived in difficult economic circumstances would be more willing to choose careers in less remunerative fields than students who have lived amidst wealth and privilege all of their lives. I suspect that the ranking increase in USNWR has led to an influx of pre-professional kids from places like CA who previously would not have considered UC.
