[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I have degrees from the schools you list and it's not anything to envy. Does it impress strangers at a cocktail party - absolutely. Does it matter in terms of career advancement - probably not any more so than a state flagship with terrific network. Nothing to be envious of.[/quote] I have multiple ivy league degrees (undergrad, m.s., ph.d.) and it's never occurred to me that this would "impress strangers at a cocktail party." In fact among the thousands of ivy league grads I know/have known, I don't think any of them gives their pedigree a second thought - maybe only when they're putting their resume/CV together for a new job! If there is any feeling of a discrepancy between state schools and elite private schools I don't think it's on the part of the ivy folks (unless they are a total dick)[/quote]
