I know this has been said many time before, but I’ll mention it again. There is no evidence that where one goes to undergraduate school has any affect on later success. It doesn’t matter if one goes to an Ivy or a State school, for the same student, the result will be the same. Actually, if great monetary success is the goal, one is better off without Harvard or Chicago. The question is simply, “Where does one want to go that most fits one’s view of what college should be?” If it is rigorous academic pursuit, then it is Chicago, if it more oriented to social activities with very smart people, then it’s Harvard.
