The Ivies are falling out of favor because people finally discovered the 30% legacy admissions, the sports recruiting, and figured out the academic accomplishments are highly inflated at the Ivies.

Yeah, it's also not like the old days when fewer students attended college and high-achieving students were concentrated in a few prestigious institutions. Nowadays, most high school seniors pursue higher education, and talented students are distributed across many universities throughout the country.

The Ivy League is an athletic conference that is very much relevant.

The best thing about being an Ivy (actually, double Ivy) grad is knowing how much we live inside the heads of the terminally resentful.

You are not an ivy grad. People should resent these institutions-they’re morally bankrupt and produce so many miserable and evil world “leaders”

A lot of stem that needs to be relevant is being plowed through and is underpaid. Cancer research makes so little, while being an ai/ml researcher for a questionable financial organization nets you 100s of thousands of dollars.

Some Maga seem to be eager to replace the foreign students they want to kick out and other Magar do not want to attend at all. Pick your poison I guess.

No. I’m blown away by the ease of things— internship abroad, etc.

It’s a bunch of stupid smoke and mirrors. These institutions have been around since the 1600/1700s they will survive and thrive while baby dementia will b gone in 3.5 years.

For an irrelevant non-factor, this current political administration is spending a lot of time and energy on trying to destroy high-level education.
