For those of you who swear non ivy T25s like Washu, Emory, Vanderbilt, Rice are less prestigious than ivys please explain the Salary differences for 2023 grads
Yale $88,464 https://cdn.ocs.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/77/2025/01/Final-Class-of-2023-Report-6-months.pdf Cornell $84,000 https://ccs.career.cornell.edu/dash/dashboard_employment Princeton $89,144(mean) $60,000 median https://projects.dailyprincetonian.com/senior-survey-2023/after-princeton.html Emory $82,100 https://apply.emory.edu/discover/facts-stats/after-graduation.html Washu $85,000 https://careers.wustl.edu/outcomes/#!eWVhcj0yMDIz Vanderbilt $85,000 https://www.vanderbilt.edu/career/career-outcomes/ Rice $87,000 https://ccd.rice.edu/about/annual-report These seem like Ivy level numbers to me. And a reminder that Emory doesn't have Engineering. Vandy, Rice, and Emory are all in the South as well. |

We should be upset that Cornell parents put down our DCs schools just for their kids to make less. |

OP doesn't know what the word "prestige" means.
An electrical lineman might make $250k a year, and it's a cool job. But it is not "prestigious". |

| "Prestige" means I can graduate from Princeton, fck around making $0/year, and I still get to sh!t on an Emory grad making six figures. That's what prestige is. |

I'm not an Ivy grad, nor do I have Ivy aspirations for my kids, but MY GOD the level of insecurity it takes to compile this data, care about it, and create a post.
This is unhinged. I am begging you to go outside and get some sunshine. |

True. A plumber could make more than an Ivy grad if that Ivy grad works for a non profit. |

| Salary isn’t the marker of prestige. Many prestigious jobs (that those ivy grads go into) don’t pay well. |

Did you also create the thread about finding pleasure in not hiring T15 grads?
Might want to get a handle on that mental illness, OP. For your own sake. From where I'm sitting, you're mighty entertaining. |

| OP - There will always be those on DCUM who obsess over Ivies. The difference btwn the Ivies and the others you mention, is like the difference between the top 0.1% of colleges in the US vs the top O.2% if that. |

We should? Really? Why should I care - at all - about this? |

| OP, You almost have to feel sorry for those prestige whores. If your life is spent chasing prestige, chances are you lead an insecure and shallow life. |

Prestige: widespread respect and admiration felt for someone or something on the basis of a perception of their achievements or quality.
Prestige is all perception. Not having to work at all because your family is so wealthy could be considered prestigious. Worrying about a $1k or $2k difference in first year salary is the opposite of prestigious. |
