@NotVerySmart I promise not to quibble just for the sake of it
or to prolong this side issue to the OPs distraction, but what you assert is simply wrong. I picked a CTCL at random, Ursinus. It has a 66% admit rate. You can check the info yourself, Ursinus grads have considerable postgraduate success in grad school and careers, certainly on a par with big name research universities. I’d also argue for many professions your grad or professional school matters far more than undergrad.
