[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to East Flyover State U and ended up in a top professional school with lots of ivy grads. They were okay-everyone in the class was pretty smart but they were not smarter than the non ivy students at all. They were more coddled (and much richer) on average but there were of course exceptions. [/quote] I’ve had the same experience. [/quote] Sour grapes [/quote] I’m not sour. I didn’t post the article or conduct the survey, Forbes did. Why is this place so obsessed with the ivies? It’s not the 1800s anymore, a lot of public schools are just as good or better than ivies, for half the price. The ivies need to get better in STEM to catch up with the evolution of the job market. [/quote] The ivies can be significantly cheaper than half the price of a public for a low-income student that can get in. These schools are very generous with aid for lower income students.[/quote]
