<p>I don’t have time to read through the replies, so I apologize if this is redundant, but this is the line in the article that seems most important to me. Speaking of undergraduates at Tier 1 schools:</p>
<p>“Their children are instructed from a young age not only in academics but also in the social nuances of making contacts and building relationships.”</p>
<p>I think this is a huge reason why the undergraduate degree appears more important than the graduate degree in this study. If undergraduates were closely connected to a professional mentor, perhaps this trend could be reversed.</p>
