I've noticed a lot of people saying that 100% of the value of going to an elite college is the brand. This isn't true. But the reason this number is so hard to get a fix on is that it varies enormously between students.

Do you really think immigrant kids get into Harvard with no understanding of science?
Of course not. I mean the world of science in the sense of doing research as a career, rather than reading in textbooks about research other people have done. Which is why I wrote "world of science" rather than simply "science."

Yea. I’m not sure there’s a distinction there.

Do you really believe that immigrant students admitted to Harvard have done no research on their own? If we’re going with tropes than it’s far more likely they got in on their own compared to their rich peers whose parents hired consultants or bribed their way in.

My grandfather co-founded a medical school in Pakistan and was asked to develop the Ministry of Health for a country that is now part of the EU. He was a beloved professor of medicine who didn't need to go to a US Med school to be introduced to the world of science.

If you’re doing “research as a career”, you imagine the Harvard Brand on your resume doesn’t help just as much as in eg business? Also, is there data that immigrants kids have particularly different trajectories from domestic kids post-Harvard (genuine curiosity)?
