[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend in high school got into a HYP school and lied to his parents- saying he got rejected. He want to a California state school instead. I have to imagine his life would be much different if he had gone to the Ivy[/quote]

But would it be better?  Or the life he wanted?   Probably not.  You people who think going to an Ivy is the golden ticket need a reality check.  A couple of years out of college NO ONE CARES except perhaps students who like to brag and haven't moved on and folks who can't take a measure of a person without a brand attached. [/quote]

Says the person who didn't go to a top school to make him/herself feel better.

I don't think the "Ivy" label itself is anything special, but it certainly does mean [i]something[/i] to have a top school on your resume, even further out. Networking is also huge.

Of course, your experience and abilities are far more valuable, but going to a top school is far from negligible. [/quote]
