additionally, the more selective schools have a higher base of alumni contribution. consistent with what many of the above posters have alluded to...a school with little or no selectivity is exactly like going to Dunkin Donuts and getting a donut. They dont screen you and make you compete for the donuts with the other people in line. EVERYBODY who wants a donut gets a donut...just like EVERYBODY who wants a degree from blah blah state technical college gets a degree. If you have to compete and beat out other candidates, then you get a feeling that your school selected you, and then maybe you would feel more inclined to give back later. particularly if you recognize that a degree from your more selective school opened more professional doors than blah blah state technical college was able to.
