After attending from kindergarten to 12Th grade the final stage of going to school for most people is college. And the question is If you go to an elite college will you have a better life or future after graduating from an elite college ? To before I explain my points, I believe that if you graduate from an elite college you will have a higher chance of having a better life than like if you are attending to a community college. In addition, I think which ever college you attend will or might determine your future life, or your income. Attending to an elite college, and having to graduate it is hard work ! So will hard work pay off?
After reading all the seven different responses on the topic does it matter where you go to college from nytimes.com, I conclude that I agree with David W. Breneman. Yet, I find that the most persuaded one was Richard D. Kahlenberg, who wrote “Numbers Favor Top Schools.” In his debate, Kahlenberg stated that,
“Entry level earnings are 45 percent higher for graduates of the most selective institutions compared with the least selective, and the wage gap may grow over time. One study suggests almost all of the higher earnings can be attributed to the talent of incoming students but most studies find the wage boost provided by selective institutions themselves to be between 5 percent and 20 percent.”
In Kahlenberg’s response, he is saying that attending to an elite college will make a difference in your future, that means that elite colleges will lead you into a better life or future. By explaining so, he had numbers to back up his points, while saying that there was a study that proved the number he listed.
Out of the seven responeses, I find that Kevin Carey, who wrote the “Skip Admissions Game.” I think his response was the least persuasive one, plus I disagree with some of his points, for instance when he said,

“It turns out that the best community colleges do a better job than the average elite research university at teaching freshman and sophomores.”
I disagree with what he said, because if a community college can do much better than elite colleges, then students wouldn't need to pay all those money to get into elite colleges. Or if community college can teach better, then elite colleges won’t have to spend so much time, effort, and money on their reputation.
