In addition to that Columbia has its own broadcast network and record label. Who else can say that? |

You must have missed this post earlier in the thread:

Do NOT agree that using the descriptor "Lower Ivy" indicates lower intelligence given it refers to the reality that, in terms of prestige and ranking, some Ivy League institutions are stratified as "upper" while some are stratified as "lower". |
It's clear you don't agree. Doesn't make the phrase any less pedantic or idiotic. If you are trying to tell me it is simply a better way of noting a rank of 3 from a rank of 8 (random example) I will not be buying it. You know what you mean when you use it, and that is why you should stop. |
Speaking of how Wall Street banks and and elite employers perceive these schools, which is the actual topic of this thread, here is a quote from a research article titled "Ivies, Extracurriculars, and Exclusion: Elite Employers' Use of Educational Credentials:" "Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, and University of Pennsylvania (general studies) were frequently described as 'second tier' schools that were filled primarily with candidates who 'didn’t get in' to a super-elite school." The article surveyed many of the employers from these elite Wall Street firms, and this was the general consensus among them. In Wall Street, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and Wharton are the Upper Ivies. The original data from this thread supports this too. So you can call Columbia a lower ivy, and no one will stop you, but no one will believe your words either. |
I'm pretty sure Columbia is a lower Ivy. |
Columbia is the one Ivy that can hold its own completely against HYP… but OK. — no Columbia affiliation, but call BS when I see it. |
Well, if you’re pretty sure, how about you give some evidence that employers view Columbia as a “lower ivy.” Don’t just say that it’s a lower ivy because some troll on DCUM, like you, said it is. And I know you’re an insecure college student because even the most pathetic bashers in this forum are not as immature as you are. Actually I am hoping that you are just a kid, because I can’t imagine an adult, much more so a parent, being this childish and petty. |

Funny how you guys still don't get it.
It's a stupid term, for many, many reasons. Whether the analysis behind it is valid or not. You sound like idiots. I am trying to help you. |
You sound like Brandon saying we are all idiots that you are trying to help. |
| No one ever uses the terms “upper Ivy” or “lower Ivy.” Ever in real life. Goes on to show how ridiculous this thread has become. |
