給料と大学の成績の相関の方が、給料と大学のランクの相関より強い
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.
