However, I agree that there seems to be a 'gap' as to who really benefits from engineering. The less-capable engineering students are getting a sweet deal. The superstars also benefit a lot, at least in the sense that they would probably be no better off if they had done something else, and arguably worse off. But the people who are in the middle don't really benefit. Those people who go to high-ranked, but not superstar schools like Stanford or MIT or Princeton are probably not getting a very good deal.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by the "Gap,"? ...especially with examples of what you consider to fall into this category.</p>
