[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts are evergreens on a forum like this. It's wishful thinking, and frankly straight-up naive, to assume that going to a more prestigious grad school completely minimizes the undergrad experience. When you are at your separate college reunions, believe me, you are not "all the same". A prestigious undergrad is cachet that lasts a lifetime.[/quote]

this made me laugh....but if it makes you feel better to believe this - dream on[/quote]

Me too. To claim wishful thinking and then write something like “a prestigious undergrad is cachet that lasts a lifetime.”  :D Hit the library, undergrad, you’ve got a degree to finish.[/quote]

Ha. I graduated from college 30 years ago. I speak from experience. If it makes you feel better to pretend that this is not how the world works, dream on...[/quote]

NP here. Could you explain some of benefits conferred by the Ivy undergrad degree?

We're trying to make decisions for our oldest now and not sure how to evaluate the ROI (we're UMC but not DCUM rich and we have 3 kids). I've met and worked with lots of Ivy grads earning the same or less than I did coming from much lower tier schools. Then there are Ivy grads with really high HHI's.

Kid#1 wants to be a lawyer. I get that the prestige of the law school matters. But does the undergrad matter too?

Thanks in advance for any insight as we grapple with college decisions.[/quote]
