Dodger Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 7 hours ago, Jason said: I do think though that it's probably true that in a lot of fields, there's probably a huge boost from going to one or two specific programs, but that then after that it kind of doesn't matter where you go, with the other options not being BAD, just not the automatic door-openers the fancy programs are. Didn't you go to an Ivy League school? It's been years since you've been in college so I could be misremembering but you probably wouldn't be making six figures in your early 30's if you went to Cal State Northridge instead. If you go to an Ivy League school and your first job out of college is some 40k a year cubicle farm job you're doing it wrong. That's what people who got 3.0's from local state school go do. Going to an elite school, or going to the top program a local school is known for will absolutely set you up well for future success. If your college experience is getting decent grades at local State U in your English major like everyone else, then yeah it doesn't matter where you go, any place will do. Even locally, I imagine graduating from say University of Michigan (since it was already brought up) will give you an advantage looking for a job in Michigan (or probably anywhere in the Great Lakes area really) over the guy went to random local liberal arts college in Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Olivia Jade Giannulli‘s enrollment status may be in jeopardy at the University of Southern California. In the wake of Tuesday’s college admissions scandal, USC released a statement amid speculation that Lori Loughlin‘s daughter — and any students connected to the scam — are in danger of facing expulsion.

SaysWho? Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 It kinda seems like Meghan McCain doesn't know what a legacy admission is Quote But then Behar brought up legacy admissions — the practice in which, if your parents went to a school, your chances of getting in improve greatly. (If they donate millions, so much the better.) Behar noted its roots in racism — to keep out minorities. McCain, oddly, brought up the generations of her family that attended the Naval Academy. [My family goes back generations at the Naval Academy. And that’s service to your country, so I would push back on that part of it because my grandfather, great-grandfather, my brothers all served their country. I don’t think there’s anything to be ashamed of with my family’s legacy at the Naval Academy, my father’s buried there.] “I’m not talking about your family,” Behar said. “I’m talking about the policy of where legacy admissions came from.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd figure it's a leg up in that a lot of poorer folks can't afford to do that. But I don't see it as gaming the system. We have the ACT around here. I was a moron in high school, only took it once, basically at the last possible time. I did get a high enough score for a scholarship for 2 years, but looking back, I kick myself for not applying myself sooner. But it worked out in the end.

TheGreatGamble Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Im not sure I care about this, but its still disgusting. I mean was ANYONE shocked when we found out being rich is the key that opens almost any door? Im pretty sure rich people have been doing this for decades, with donations, back channels like this. Its only shocking to the public because celebs are caught up in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
