A new study finds that an Ivy League degree doesn't meaningfully increase a graduate's future income compared to attending a good state school. Americans are debating the merits of affirmative action and legacy admissions at Ivy League schools. While attending an Ivy League school only increased students' future income by 3% on average, the researchers found that it boosted any one student's chances of reaching the top 1% in income at age 33 by 59%. So while attending an Ivy didn't meaningfully boost students' odds of making more money on average, it did boost their odds of getting super-duper rich. Age 33 income levels were projected using a student's current income and data on their employers and graduate schools.
