<p>What does taking communtiy college classes have to do with you saying that “elite” college students are better than state school students?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I got to a state school where mostly everybody gets in. </p>
<p>Showing entrance requirements and grad school data does not prove that “elite” school students are better than state school students.</p>
<p>I would like to see the data of how the two groups of students compare after college.</p>
<p>Did you not read what I wrote. My personal experience wasn’t necessarily linked to being able to do that. Grad school data is after college. If you can provide me with the means to collect direct data I would. But thats the best I can do. I am drawing opinions from the limited facts placed before me. </p>
<p>Off topic: I’m surprised more people haven’t jumped in.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You are still in college if you are in grad school. I was talking about after college when you have a steady job.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Maybe because it’s 3 A.M. :eek:</p>
<p>I understand you are making opinions, but I just want to know how you came up with those opinions. You haven’t stated anything particular that made you come up to these conclusion that “elite” school students are smarter than state school students.</p>
<p>Oh sorry, I was referring to college as undergrad. Unfortunately, I cannot provide data for that.</p>
<p>If you want data for elite school students v. state school students in terms of smartness, look as far as entrance requirements. I believe that provides fairly reliable data to make these assumptions.</p>
<p>CC still gets a number of posts in the wee-hours. And with that I’m going to sleep. I really don’t want to do this again tomorrow, look how much time we spent.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Like I said before, some students could qualify to get into an “elite” university, but they don’t qualify for financial aid or can’t afford spending $180,000 on an education.</p>
<p>Therefore, entrance requirements have nothing to do with it.</p>
<p>Last post, I promise. Then why is there a significant difference in the averages. If their were so many of these students, enough to significantly make a difference, the averages would be closer.</p>
