That may very well be true…I agree 100%. But I would not underestimate superior students taking full rides to lower ranked schools. They get plenty of attention. We really need to look at the role that these students play in all of this. My friend’s son had a fully paid trip to Australia over the summer to do research.
I will state …again…that I know kids at Ivy League schools who do not have any kind of resume. No internships etc.
My cousin’s daughter graduated from a top LAC in May and is unemployed.
We keep going round and round!
