The benefits of attending a more selective college might very well be canceled out by the benefits of attending a less selective college
Most of the major college rankings are based in part on selectivity: either by looking at the acceptance rate or by looking at the high school GPAs and SAT scores of students. But a savvy student might be better off attending a school with a bunch of students who are dumber than he is. Why? A recent study of law school grads found that the correlation between class rank and salary is stronger than the correlation between school prestige and salary. "Under-matching" - that is, attending a law school where you're smarter than many of your classmates - is likely to result in better grades and a better class rank and a higher salary. Princeton economist Alan Krueger has theorized that this phenomenon may explain why students who get into elite colleges but attend less elite colleges earn as much money as students who attend elite colleges. Krueger found that students who graduate seven percentile ranks higher in their class tend to earn about 3.5 percent more money.
Does where you graduate university/college really matter?
The lore of a premier post-secondary institution is undeniable, but maybe the subsequent economic payoff isn’t. By a new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), you likely need a university/college degree or diploma for your future salary’s sake, yet where it comes from probably doesn’t matter. http://www.everydaymoney.ca/2010/11/does-where-you-graduate-universitycollege-really-matter.html
Corporate employers prefer State University grads over Ivy Leaguers
Public universities dominated the top slots in the Journal's survey. Following Penn State in the rankings were Texas A&M University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Purdue University and Arizona State University, all public institutions. Of the top 25 schools on the list, 19 were public and the rest private, with only one -- 14th-ranked Cornell -- an Ivy League school. http://www.huliq.com/8738/corporate-employers-prefer-state-u-grads-new-survey-shows
