[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statistically speaking, upper class America is dominated by schools outside the Ivy League, not elite Ivy grads. The latter gets the attention but the former is the clear majority.[/quote] You're mixing two different things. I'm going to use random numbers as an example. The odds of being upper class after attending an Ivy = 30% multiplied by 10000 grads per year = 3000 upper class Ivy League grads The odds of being upper class after attending a non-Ivy = 5% multiplied by 2 million grads per year = 100000 upper class non-Ivy League grads This explains why your chances of being upper class are much better by attending an Ivy, even though there are way more upper class folks who didn't attend one.[/quote]
