He chose ND because the environment seemed to be fun and collaborative while still academically rigorous.

I don't understand the obsession over ivies or rankings to be honest. Go to the school that is the best fit.

And yet you’re entirely aware of the ranking. Interesting.

PP doesn't understand the word "obsession" evidently. Also interesting.

?? I'm not sure where you're getting this information, but it's not accurate. I am very familiar with recruiting for investment banking and consulting. Michigan is a feeder school to all of the top banks and firms. Ross is excellent and its students are recruited heavily to all of the usual "suspects."

I would take Michigan over Cornell in a heartbeat. Ann Arbor>>> Ithaca.

If you’re here, you’re obsessed.

Cornell is pretty much the un-Ivy Ivy. Doesn't carry anywhere near the prestige as most other Ivies. I would put Michigan's reputation on par with Cornell any day.

Exactly, which is why we need to, once again, remind ourselves that ivy is an "athletic" league...nothing more.
