[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many on DCUM disparage state schools so its no surprise that those same people will do that with ivies. Most successful people dont have time to discuss nuances between top schools and will never spend too much time on these boards. For instance my husband who is attended top universities and is extremely successful hardly ever comments on colleges. I think he is very secure in who he is. I feel people who make comments about colleges are those who have nothing going on or are insecure.[/quote]

This is very true. I went to [b]top schools[/b], and I do not waste my breath trying to debate which is the best or worst Ivy. They are all highly regarded. That's more than enough for me and probably everyone else who went/goes to them too.

I had no idea people were so obsessed with Ivies until I started looking at this board a couple years ago as my own kids started their college search. It's been eye opening.[/quote]
Cornell doesn’t count.[/quote]

There! There’s that weird obsession I was just posting about. Thank you for proving my point. Nope, I didn’t go to Cornell, but I think highly of it and have no reason to put it down. I know smart people who went there.

Sure there are rivalries amongst the Ivies but I think at the end of the day everyone respects the others. Not sure what your issue is. [/quote]
To say that Cornell is the worst Ivy is not an obsession; it is the prevailing view. Your obsession in defending the “honor” of this school smacks of disingenuous noblesse oblige. I don’t think Cornell boosters need you to patronize them with your “approval.”

The fact you deem “top schools” status as somehow relevant to your opining as to how “good” Cornell is proves the point: Harvard grads do not care what Cornell grads think of them; nor do Cornell grads presume to comment on Harvard’s relative worth on an anonymous message board. In that sense, your actions evince your “real” stance on Cornell — more than your words.[/quote]
