[quote=Anonymous]I found this thread very interesting: http://ideas.theatlantic.com/2009/06/the_east_the_west_and_the_ivy_league.php [i]to be a young, ambitious person growing up on the East Coast is to obsess about educational institutions in a way I never remembered growing up in California, although I took advanced placement classes at a competitive Orange County high school where classmates attended all manner of elite colleges. As seniors in high school, my sense is that although most of my classmates were probably aware of Harvard as the biggest name school in America, a peer admitted to Stanford University would've commanded congratulations as hearty. Asked to name the most prestigious school among UC Berkeley, Brown, Cornell and UPenn, Berkeley would've won the day, except that one never would've been asked to make that judgment, let alone to internalize it.[/i][/quote]
