[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People need to calm down, OP did not say that she thought all other schools are beneath the others. She sited her reasons (legit to me, but maybe not fair or democratic as they are) that she feels the ivy would be a better choice.

I have 3 kids and will be the first to admit IF they were ivy material (they are not) I would jump thorough fire for them to attend. I personally don't believe anyone who says otherwise. Come on we all want the best for our kids, and like it or not Ivies are still at the top of the heap and [b]produce more CEO's, presidents, chairmen and leaders of industry than any other collegiate group.[/b] Heck yea I would want my son in that environment![/quote]

Statistics, please.

I think you are 100% totally, completely wrong about that.

Only one Ivy League grad running a top 10 Fortune 500 company. One. [/quote]

I would have to agree without knowing the hard facts/numbers, that there is on doubt that Ivy league schools as a whole produce more top leaders in areas of industry and government than another college group. I am sure the stats are out there. But I feel like that could be changing as many industry leaders are proving to be more of the "think outside the box" types aka Steve Jobs who did not need a top education or a diploma for that matter to demonstrate his intelligence or vision.[/quote]
