snob.jpgThe American Scholar recently ran an article on why a Harvard or Yale education may not be the best decision for most high school or post graduate students.

Hi Anittah,

Your counterpoints are well done, however I'm thinking the author of the article intended the piece to be more a priori or anecdotal rather than a strict, logical, argument. Have you sent a note to the author with your argument?

Best,
Vince
