<p>It’s a big jump from great advantage to doing no harm. I never would say going to and elite does actual harm. I still don’t understand that second sentence very clearly. Even modestly elite U’s like Wisconsin have about 80% grad rates so how can more elite schools be 4 times better. I think the writer mangled that one. Now maybe the meant that at A you have a 5% chance of not graduating and at B it is 20% so it is 4 times more likely you don’t graduate, in a sense.</p>
