Flutterby™! : College: about filtering

Via RC3 comes a mirror of a Newsweek report on a study by Alan Krueger and Stacy Berg Dale, an economist at Princeton, and a researcher at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, respectively, who normalized by SAT and, although the article doesn't get explicit, apparently a few other factors, and found no differences in earning potential. "The only exception was poorer students, regardless of race; they gained slightly from an elite school".

Which is odd, 'cause although I've posited this jokingly, more recently I've said seriously that if I had to do it over again, I'd get into the best school I could and party my ass off, so that I'd meet that professional network of friends earlier.
