Choosing a College with Lower Admission Standards


Good News: A recent study by Alan Krueger, an economics professor at Princeton, and Stanley Dale, a researcher at Mathematic Policy Research found that students who chose a school with lower admissions standards over a more competitive school earned as much as those who attended elite colleges. According to Krueger, "The best school that turned you down is a better predictor of future income than the school you actually attend."
