[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. People that graduate from an ivy are not likable. Hopefully it will change in the future but currently the graduates have a very low EQ. I do think they are trying to change this, but 30+year olds.. Not likable.

I have multiple friends/family who graduated a ivy. Thank god for their spouses ... I am not sure anybody would tolerate them alone.[/quote]
It wasn't until this site that I realized how prevalent ivy envy is in this area.

A school makes you unlike able? Yet those people were able to find spouses who find them to be true keepers.

Simply accept that you didn't have what it takes to make it in the big leagues instead of disparaging those who did.

The jealousy and insecurity are obvious.[/quote]

Oh dear.  It's becomeIvy vs. non-Ivy like SAHM vs WOHM.

I'm pretty sure the divorce rate amongst ivy leaguers is pretty much the same as the general public.  I don't think they have "true keepers" anymore than non-ivy leaguers do.

Do you REALLY think that everyone is jealous of those that went to Ivies?  Um..no.  You made a generalization, just like the rest of us did.  It's not the school itself that makes the person unlikable, it's the general attitude that if you were educated anywhere else than an Ivy, your education was sub-par, or the attitude of "I'm superior to you".  That makes you snobby.  Honestly, that is the way most Ivy grads think, even if it is subconsciously.
