This is fair. I'm saying all higher education, so if upending your life doesn't work for you, you could choose a local school or community college.

Also the regular admissions system would be in place, so higher achievers would still exclusively get into more prestigious schools, it's just that money won't be a factor.

While this is in the broader scope but after five years of graduation, the college you attended is irrelevant. The prestigious name is meaningless.

Personally from experience, the prestige comes with network and the network is where it's at. The connections you have definitely grease the upward escalator.
