Don't use Harvard as a parallel in your argument with Lambda. It just comes off very silly.
Not too mention that the Harvard student body typically come from parents with a disproportionate amount of wealth relative to the general population. Their parents were alumni/donors or influential in some type of way. Not to mention, they could afford ACT/SAT tutors for their sons/daughters.
So I advise everyone in this thread to to take what you just said with a grain of salt. This was a false equivalency.
at my university there actually isn't much of a difference between a master's salaries and bachelors. There's a 10k difference, however, the average undergrad would not get into the master's program. Undergrad gpa is 2.9/4 while the master's program required at least 3.4/4 minimum. I'm sure if you compare the best 25% of undergrad's salaries out of college, then it would be comparable to the average master's student salary.
