I'd like to write a cynical little piece about colleges, particularly those which are called “select” or “ivy league” schools. Does admission have to do more with the student’s abilities, or his or her parents’ money? Will dropping these university's names at an interview really increase your chances of getting the job? I would incorporate statistics from various big-name schools about the percentage of students employed in their field within six months of graduation, etc., and compare these rates to those of lesser-known private and state schools to help determine whether select schools deserve the prestigious connotation they carry.

These are good questions. Think about audience and purpose, of course, and whether you're interested in arguing or simply informing (or something else!).
