[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I think the PP is very rude to accuse the "ivy league professor" of lying, I do wonder about one thing:  the nearest ivy is, I guess, Princeton.  It would be an awfully long commute from the DC area to Princeton.  So, why are you on DCUM?[/quote]

Was just wondering this myself.  Penn is marginally closer than Princeton, but still a 2+ hour commute.[/quote]

Is the poster living elsewhere and browsing DCUM from a distance? What I could not understand In his/her case was the high HHI and the employer-reimbursed tuition for the DC.  I do not know of any university in the US that reimburses for a DC's pre-collegiate Education (unless it might be a university-sponsored lab school perhaps at Columbia?). I am really perplexed by the poster's situation -- intrigued might bE a better adjective -- and admittedly also skeptical about the assertions RE quality of education. I was an admissions officer for a highly-selectiVe small liberal arts college. There are considerable and measurable differences between some independent and some public schools, based on factors including location, level of parents' education, quality of teaching and professional development of staff, access to grants, etc. I would also be curious o know the Ivy League poster's field and how many first-year students s/he teaches directly -- without a TA's support.
