How HYP students and alum feel about the other Ivies

I think they make some exception for Columbia, maybe Brown but never Cornell, Dartmouth or Penn.

Am I right?

Only the ones who peaked when they received their acceptance letters.

If where one went to undergrad even comes up after the age of 30, something has gone horribly gone.

Try again. If you want people to believe your troll post - you have to use the right pronouns (Ivy Leage - right!!)
Otherwise - go do your homework!

I would agree. People from Harvard mention it into their 70s.

I went to Princeton many years ago. The pecking order was clear then: H then Y then P. No one cared about other

The stats in those days were 20-25% acceptance rate at P. A much smaller, more narrow pool applied then.

Double this. I think the middle schoolers have found this forum.

Wharton looks down on everyone else.

My BFF went to Harvard. Never tells new people, never thinks about it unless there's a reunion. Does not spend her time comparing to other ivy grads. Its just not on their radar.

Its only on the radar of DCUM parents who are strivers.

Clearly, you have not been exposed to many Harvard grads.

What about MIT? Your school's most alum is really proud of his family association with that school.

We hire them but they are not our peers.

They’re smarter

Salary says otherwise

I see someone didn’t get an Ivy degree for the education. What the hell does that have to do with intelligence?

At Wharton we really don’t care about the Ivy League. If you have a better measure of intelligence than compensation, let us know.

NP here, but I have adult friends who went to Harvard and I only know this because I googled them. I'm not sure who you are hanging out with, but they sound like losers.
