I wouldn't put it above Yale for drama, but I'd prefer it to all of the other Ivies. [/quote]

Yale drama is graduate only.  CMU actually has a ton of successful, famous working actors, writers and producers for stage, screen and TV.

If you google famous CMU grads working in all creative capacities, it is fairly impressive.[/quote]

Don't need to Google this, lol. [/quote]

Sorry...other than two or three writers/actors, most of us aren't a repository of CMU grads working in entertainment.

Yale drama is more well-known because in nearly every article about somebody like Paul Giamatti or Sigourney Weaver or another famous actor, they mention they attended Yale drama.

I have never seen it mentioned in an article that Ethan Hawke or Ted Danson went to CMU.[/quote]

Another person believing their misinformed understanding defines the general understanding.

Here's a long list of CMY drama successes.  You'll know most of these names, or their work.  Extremely impressive for what is generally considered one of the most competitive fields in the country.

No actually...you did a google/Internet search for it, which was my point.

You didn't just list off 10+ names off the top of your head.

So, you are another person not actually understanding the responses...then actually proving the point of the person you think you are maligning.[/quote]

No, fool, you are wrong.

I knew about it since I was in High School and the show Hill Street Blues made me want to work in television.  I read all about it, and there were many newspaper and magazine articles about how Stephen Bocho led a whole army of CMU people on many shows, including his wife who starred in the show.  That's how I knew that back in the 80s.  Didn't apply there because I thought Syracuse Newhouse was better for me because I wanted to work behind the camera...

BTW, even though we've just shown what you claim is false, what would it matter if it were true?  If you want to work in a field, and an unusual number of successful people come from that school, and it is known in the industry... why does it matter what the layman knows?  So stupid.  And let me tell you about the "Newhouse Mafia" and how much that matters in television and sports broadcasting, even though you never heard of that either.

It takes a severe level of cognitive dissonance to be presented with empirical evidence of a fact and claim that it somehow shows the opposite.[/quote]

You mentioned one graduate.  You are now wildly unhinged and don’t even understand the context of the thread.

Sorry…for whatever reason all the famous Yale grads always have that mentioned in general writeups…but the CMU grads don’t get that level of attention.

Nobody is refuting that if you do a google search (which 99.9% of people on DCUM must do) you will see many recognizable names.[/quote]

You keep scratching that chicken, dude.  You're not helping yourself.  Maybe stop?[/quote]
