[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest myth is that the Ivy League is some sort of association that means "schools that are the best." [b]It's a football league, plain and simple[/b].

There's no merit-based criteria for getting into it. [/quote]

And there you have the biggest myth of all.[/quote]

How is that a myth? It's literally true.

Do you honestly think Ivy League schools confer a better education than, say, MIT, Stanford, UChicago, etc.? [b]Do you think they open more doors, career-wise, than those schools?[/b] If you do, you're sorely deluded. [/quote]

Yeah, I do.  Read the USNWR rankings.  [/quote]

My kid goes to Chicago and we (her parents) could not possibly be more pleased with the education that she is receiving there as well as the environment there. The school works very hard to create a great intellectual environment but also a great experience socially. It’s an amazing school and our daughter loves it there. We really could care less about any ‘rankings’. [/quote]
