[quote=Anonymous]the reason people obsess over colleges and getting into ivies now is because the stakes are so high. we have a gilded age economy, where the middle class is shrinking and the wealth blossom. jobs are generally won with connections, not saying winners arent qualified, but in this sea of excess candidates, the distinguishing characterisitc is to know someone on the inside (or your family knows someone, depressingly enough). as for cali schools, uc are great schools but with california economy, state budget, and demographics uc will all be on a stark decline. stanford will be fine, with all the google alums etc who will bestow grants in their dotage (sp?)[/quote]
