[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The only brands that matter in American higher education are Harvard, Yale and Princeton.

No one really gives a shit about any of the others, and their names don’t carry well beyond the regions in which they are located.

And thanks to decades of failed social engineering experiments, even the HYP brands are now compromised and rapidly losing whatever value they once had.

Go to a school where you will be happy and do well. Don’t worry about the folks hold of a “brand”- it matters far less than you think.

Have to agree with the PP. Even in the mid 1990s when I was applying to colleges, a wise older man said to me there only two types of schools in America, Harvard and everyone else.

Historically, the graduate outcome of HYP and I'd throw in MIT and Stanford and Caltech to the mix was a significant step up from the rest of the Ivies, and I am a graduate of one of the other Ivies. Can't disagree with this perspective.

And also cannot disagree that the HYP brand has been significantly weakened in the last 15 years due to social engineering. Same goes for the rest of the Ivies. Still great alums coming out of these schools but there is a clear divide between top and bottom half of classes. [/quote]
