[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of defensiveness from Ivy parents. Don't be. Your kid still has enough privilege and opportunity coming their way. It's ok if there are also numerous hiring execs out there now who prefer other top school graduates because as a whole they are just as smart and capable but appear to be less entitled about opportunities. There's more than enough jobs for strong performing grads from the top 50 or 60-ish schools who have initiative and hustle.

As a hiring manager myself, I wouldn't care if the grad was impressive and went to Emory, Northwestern or Tufts versus Dartmouth,  UChicago or Yale. But that's just me. [/quote]
This! Thats really what the hate is about. They seen on ivy privates making strides, like Emory having the number 1 nursing program for 5+ years now. And it makes them nervous. Accolades like that were only reserved for ivy+. Which begs the question which new ivys will be ivy + in the future. [/quote]

I actually think Emory is a great school...but other than UPenn (which admittedly has a highly ranked but very small nursing school) and Duke (also very highly rated), what Ivy+ would care about a #1 nursing program?[/quote]

Most of the top nursing undergrads will get a higher degree after college like NP or pivot into something else healthcare related.  They are not ordinary nursing school graduates.[/quote]

Great...but why would an Ivy+ that has zero nursing programs at any level care about schools that do?

Your mind is broken.  This is not how the world works.[/quote]

Explain to us how the world works.[/quote]

Universities are not people.  Universities do not care about other universities.  Faculty at each university have a career that is focused on themselves.  The faculty do not care about trivial comparisons of universities.[/quote]

So…you agree with PP.  They don’t care.

You sound like a weird person.[/quote]

They are not capable of caring.  The original comment was bizarre.[/quote]
