[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people who struggled emotionally/socially at different Ivies. I also know people who blossomed/thrived at colleges that are looked down upon by people on this board (little known LAC’s, regional state schools). And it’s probably safe to say that may of us have colleagues who never set foot on an Ivy campus or at any T-25 school or SLAC who are doing extremely well. [/quote]

Ok. And I know many who have thrived at an ivy+, now as well as 25 years ago, and work in careers where a disproportionate number of their colleagues are from ivy+ undergrads.

Its anecdotal without the research. The article references research that indicates there is a difference in outcomes. Not huge, but different. Denying it does not make it not valid. There is way too much coping on this thread. So what if ivy+ is a bit of a boost in some areas, and the peers on average are stronger? Don’t apply if you do not want that environment of peers and possibilities for your children. [/quote]
