I got denied from 11 top colleges. I ended up going to community college and then transferred to USC with a full tuition scholarship. Best decision of my life. I saved 140,000.00.

I can't disagree with what you said but you didn't talk about one of the most important issue- financial aid. Top colleges have the most amazing financial aid policies. I am from Bangladesh; my family's annual income is less than $5000. When I said I wanna apply to US colleges, people said, "you must be crazy." Well, Stanford is giving me full financial aid including 5k for medical insurance, 3.1k for personal expenses, and 1.5k for books. I am not paying a cent!!!

@sidneygray51 2 жыл бұрын

200%+ work hours in 200%+ cost of living areas with massive debt loads and opportunity costs make $300k starting careers merely middle class, all things considered, and lower middle class when risk is considered. College ROI data is worthless. The only possible serious ROI from college comes from LANGUAGE classes since it can help you retire to a cheap cost of living country or a country with no extradition treaty with the US lol. The fact that colleges don't promote this shows you they know what they're really doing. And they all cynically promote liberalism because the big liberal cities have the HCOL premium and fake returns. And K-12 schools only promote college because it looks good for the local housing values to be in a good school area. Actually helping their graduates earn money from their labor is never considered. The entire education business needs to be absolutely reformed at all levels.

@EyeLean5280 6 жыл бұрын

In most ways true! I started out at an elite private college (one of the top 5 in the nation for the program I chose), but when my mom couldn't afford it anymore, I switched to an unknown state university, just because it was near my house and had a program that would let me finish my course of study. I found that since I took my education seriously and made the most of what was at that obscure state school, I was getting almost as much out of my classes as I had been at the gold-plated school I'd attended earlier. The only real difference was in my peers. The quality of the other students was definitely higher at the private school. BUT! I strongly suspect this is no longer the case. These days, college is so ridiculously expensive that high-level students will often choose state schools and even community colleges to save money. Some move on to top colleges through transferring but plenty like their state schools enough to finish out where they started. I think in terms of pure education, today's students will do just as well at a good state school as I'd done at my top-flight private school back in the 20th century.

I always tell my clients a couple of things: (a) the only thing people look at is the terminal degree - if you're going to grad school, the only thing that matters for undergrad is how well it does getting you in those grad programs. (b) There are times top schools are worth the investment - but it varies from school to school and is heavily influenced by major (which is hit in this vid). For example, if you are set on being a stock broker, the connections you get through the Ivies can be a big benefit). (c) There are some majors that are WAY better at other places than in Ivies - say, forensics. So... the takeaway for me is focus on what makes sense for your plan. Look at ROI, at impact for specific majors, and impact for grad school if that's something you want to do.

I grew up in rural Illinois. My Dad never earned more than $35k and we had a family of 6. I went to Northwestern as a Political Science Major with plans for law school. I decided not to go to law school and upon graduation I moved to Los Angeles with $500 to my name and no job lined up. I got into sales, Lanier Photo copiers…and continued to grow in sales related careers. Now at 52 I have a $200k salary plus bonuses. Northwestern was very good to me…I love Northwestern. But I have also seen that there are very capable people from all different schools. My success in sales has much less to do with my being from Northwestern than it does my knack for sales.

The things that make schools “top” isn’t relating to any academics. It’s about what happens after your 4 year period of college ends and it’s time to get a job. Networking is easier in “top” schools as more reputable companies come to career fairs compared to a state schools. That’s literally it, Ivy schools are no different from state schools in most things except for career fairs.

A "top college" is usually a college that has better resources for students coming back to get a master's or doctorate degree. Which is why they're held at a "higher level" since they can provide at a higher level. Other than that you're being taught the same things whether you're in a ivy league, college or community college etc.

This is so true! Most times, going to ivy league schools is all about the reputation, whereas, you could go to state university or a lower tier school and get a great education and be just as successful in your future. In addition, you don't have to force yourself to be the best student in high school and do clubs and programs only because "they look good" to admissions counselors. Do what you love for YOU not them. Happiness is most important and not going to a top tier school will not make you any less successful. On top of that you'll save 100K + in loans. The best decision I made was to go to a state school.

This is a great video. I believe the video is missing something though. I have hired people at multiple levels. Sometimes the distinction between top employees is small but someone must be promoted. For example, an engineering team might have lost their manager and someone needs to be promoted into that position. There are various methods to help identify who will make the best move into management but the methods don't do a good job comparing Rockstar employees. After finding the best two or three members of the team, picking the person who went to the best college works well. For example, I could be evaluating the two best design engineers on a team. One engineer graduated from a tiny rural college. The second engineer graduated from Brown. There is simply no question, I promote the guy that went to Brown. That being said, an employee who graduated from Harvard who is just average, won't be the person promoted. Being a Rockstar is a must.

@kurtzman1883 10 ай бұрын

When you evaluate two employees for the same promotion, preferring the one who attended a more prestigious school might not be the best option, especially if they are equally as capable. See, for the employee who graduated from Brown, they had an inherent advantage in applying for jobs over the other employee simply for their Alma Mater's prestige. Meanwhile, the employee who graduated from a smaller and less prestigious school had a more difficult time just getting in the door, but they overcame the odds and made it happen. The employee who went to a lower ranked school had to demonstrate more grit to be where they are today, so they will likely apply this same mindset to whatever challenges face them in their new role. So, when you're comparing two employees of equal skill for the same role, consider the challenges they overcame to get there.

@culturatisanta4590 6 жыл бұрын

Top colleges don't give scholarships for academic merit, since all their students are high achievers. Their financial aid is based on need, so if your family is middle class or lower you get a full scholarship, but if you are very rich you pay the full cost. If you are somewhere in the middle, they give you partial financial aid based on your income and assets.

@yuseisato8726 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the reply! So based on your response, once I officially get into a top college, can I get a scholarship instantaneously as my family is in the middle social status? Can you please reinforce your statement for me (because I’m still in 6th grade)? Thanks!

@culturatisanta4590 6 жыл бұрын

First of all, 6th grade is WAY too young to get stressed about what college you are going to and how you are going to pay for it. Yes, you should study and do well in school to pave the way for academic success in middle and high school, but have fun too. Hang with your friends, play sports, and do the things you like outside of school. As far as financial aid, my response was a general statement so it is no guarantee of how much financial aid you will receive. Also, while it applies to U.S. students, the formula may be different if you are international. Your best bet is to go to the web sites for the schools you are most interested in and check out their financial aid policies. Most of them have calculators on their sites where you plug in your family financial information and it estimates how much financial aid you are likely to receive. Note that this will be an estimate, not a guarantee of how much money you will receive. But it will give you a good idea of where you stand. Good luck!

If you're great at networking it shouldn't matter very much, but if you're planning to move farther away, the bigger name will get you more meetings (that doesn't necessarily mean more jobs but it is a factor).

Top universities are not at all overrated. They have the best financial aid packages, offering free tuition to a large number of students. Sometimes free tuition AND room and board on top of that. They also have well over 90% graduation rates, the average school doesn’t have that.

I would bet that these studies showing higher ROI for engineering majors, let’s say, than for English or Political Science majors are focusing on starting salary alone. Of course, all things being equal, a person with a bachelors degree in (for example) mechanical engineering will get a higher paying “right out of college” job than someone with a bachelors degree in History. But, many very smart liberal arts majors go on to earn an MBA, a law degree, or both and end up managing the engineers.

Are you ok surviving a middle class or modest existence the rest of your life and working 60-80 hour weeks through your 20's for modest pay? If so, then you will be ok. Film-TV is not as "fun" as your 16 year old self may believe it will be and the culture of hollywood is rife with disrespect and abuses. As you get older your priorities may likely change, and you'll be less inclined to deal with the unnecessary drama. Still, I have friends who are still working in the industry. It takes about a decade for most people (even with top college degrees or from USC/UCLA/NYU) to get decent paying work and get over the "paying your dues" part of the industry. Even then, there is not as much money in the industry as E! Entertainment interviews might make you think. Silicon Valley has TEN TIMES the capital that the film industry / LA business community does or something crazy like that. With a few "wild card" exceptions, even then you'll be making less than you likely could in many other fields.

Yes. Some people make 100K+ or even 200K+ per family but still can't afford 50-70K/year to send their kid to school because they have other obligations like a mortgage, cost of living in an expensive area, lack of savings for retirement, private school costs for younger siblings, etc. Others are disqualified because of assets they own and not all parents want to refinance their house or sell property and move into a tiny apartment to send kids to an expensive college. Many families are too rich for aid but not rich enough to make paying for expensive colleges easy or practical.

Brooke Hanson - True. And some people are doing well now but went through really hard times during the recession and in the years after (maybe even before the recession), so they weren't able to save. A family's income in the present is just a snapshot.

@codyfernfan6274 5 жыл бұрын

I completely agree with you Brooke, as my family is in this category. My father lives in New York where the rent is sky high and we live far away from him so whenever I want to see him we must pay thousands in transportation. Also, my siblings are also in college so we really can’t pay $70,000+ a year to send me to a prestigious college, even though academically I am qualified.

@@brookifyd Very true. Interesting by the way to read how they present the "student debt": 100% of students in need of financial aid end up debt-free. I bet that a lot of students who are just above the line of "in need of financial aid" have to make student loans.

Amy-- have you watched all of our videos here? We also have some blog posts that can hopefully help! If you don't have the budget for a course (we have an online one at supertutortv.com), I suggest you at least put together a study plan, get some books from the library, and maybe aim for the July ACT or August SAT to try to up your score. Good luck! It can be done but takes effort above all!!

Brooke Hanson I took the SAT last Tuesday and the ACT last Saturday. I had little practice. I don’t have no money to spend on materials so I printed some free practice off online. I’m just hoping I got a good enough score. I completed two years of highschool in one year so I’ve been pushed with time for everything and didn’t have much time for anything else.

Ok, you can retake in the summer (unless you're in NY or CA, which don't offer the ACT in July) and maybe get some more time for studying then! There are lots of free resources if you make the effort!

Elite schools have their place but for the most part not needed. Yes, certain jobs lead to elite schools like Brooke’s career. Would you listen to her if she had attended Cal State Los Angeles? Likely no. But, take me for example. I attended Cal State Northridge. Worked in admissions for year thereafter and hated it. I applied to med school and was accepted to Northwestern med. I am now a neurologist. Did it matter that I attended a state school for undergrad? Absolutely not. I got to compete with a lower gene pool and excelled. Better to be a big fish in a small pond as you will stand out. I strongly believe Brooke’s first point that you matter more than the school.

The more the job market is flooded with people with college degrees, the less valuable they become due to the laws of supply and demand. The De Beers diamond company hoards diamonds and create artificial scarcity for this very reason.
