 :roll:   If people from non T15  can become NASA engineers and astronauts, and gasp.. even some CEOs, I'm pretty sure the "elite" universities don't have a stranglehold on that pipeline. Plus elite u's produced Trump and GWB, so all that tells me is if your mommy or daddy had a ton of money, but your dumb as a rock, you can get into an elite school and become a CEO or even POTUS.[/quote]

"even some CEOs, I'm pretty sure the "elite" universities don't have a stranglehold on that pipeline" yeah no one said that, but in your haste to demonstrate that you don't read well, you came up with this. Do you want the remedial version of what was said, so you can keep up? Or do want to hide in the book and hope no one calls on you?

Here's what you said:

" If you want to be at a school in which people are groomed to run corporations and institutions, make lots of bank in consulting, or become staff writers for cultural magazines, go to a top 15" .

In your haste to be obnoxiously elitist, you neglected to explain or even understand that people who are "groomed" to run corporations largely do so not because of merit but because of connections and being in the good ol' boys network - family legacy not only in corporate America but also at the Ivies.

Additionally, many CEOs didn't go to T15.

But sure, hide behind your obnoxious elitism.

And I fixed the quote for you. You're welcome.[/quote]

mix of ivy and not.

If you plan on going to graduate school, it doesn't matter where you went for undergrad.
