[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I reject Ivy leaguers from jobs all day.  [b]My favorite hires are usually state school honors program kids. [/b] Bright, realistic, and hungry![/quote]

This is who our hiring panels favor as well. The Ivies are almost disadvantaged at our firm. [/quote]

We are a 6B investment firm and we are the same way. Very little ivy leaguers. Too rigid  and sometimes lack the social awareness our job entails. [/quote]

Mmm-hmm.[/quote]

Do you not agree? [b]Many Ivy Leaguers are brilliant but they can be a bit too "bookish" and lack good interpersonal skills. [/b]Just because someone is brilliant doesn't mean they will do well in a specific role..takes more than brains sometimes.[/quote]

Whenever I hear "many people from a background X lack good interpersonal skills", I know who is lacking.   That's regardless of what X is.  [/quote]

How can you say this? Do you really think a genius MIT computer scientist would do well generating PE deals? Or selling medical devices? Or in Commercial RE? Just like the PE guy would be a total clown in computer science field? Your book smarts are far less valuable in MOST professional careers.[/quote]
