[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has been accepted to a couple Ivy League schools and I just wanted to hear opinions from others, what are some of the benefits of an Ivy over another top 50 school?[/quote]

It really depends what other top 50 schools you're talking about.

No benefit vs. other top 15-20 type schools.

Versus, say UM or UVA?

[b]The Ivy grad will have a certain amount of additional "instant credibility" for life.

That's about it.[/quote]

That would be if you stop at undergrad and don't gain any other life achievement which is unlikely. Otherwise your graduate degree and what you accomplish will dictate your "credibility in life"... [/quote]

PP here. Fair point on the grad degree.

Didn't say "credibility in life"; said "credibility FOR life".

I know an Ivy grad who has failed at every turn, but still gets opportunities (job interviews, etc.) and commands a certain social respect that he would most assuredly not get with a degree from UM or UF.
