[quote=Anonymous]In the long run Michigan versus Brown is meaningless, as is Michigan versus Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell or Penn. All this talk about Brown not being a real Ivy is silly, it is an Ivy as it's part of the Ivy confederation. There's no ifs and buts about it. Stanford, a measurably "better" school than most of the Ivies, is not an Ivy school.

FYI as someone who worked overseas, both in Europe and Asia, there are people who have heard of Brown or Dartmouth. Another FYI is that in Asia Stanford, Berkeley and Harvard were the most known. Yale and Princeton weren't any more known than Brown or the other Ivies. But that's the folks on the street, while as an expat you move in more educated circles and in those circles all the Ivies are well known.

Continental Europeans really don't care about American universities. As for the UK there seems to be a lot of Brown graduates in London in all industries from finance to the arts. And, above all, in both Europe and Asia, there are plenty of American expats from little known schools as well.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that Michigan is comparable to an Ivy is laughable.[/quote]

But is Brown a real Ivy?

(Serious question here, no one in Europe or Asia even knows the school, much less put it at the same level as Harvard or Stanford)[/quote]

W-t-f, how many kids are going to work in Europe or Asia? [b]Not even 1% per class[/b].[/quote]

That'd be sad, IF true.

Anyway, it's not just about "going to work there," but about who one's boss/ investors/ partners may turn out to be.

Look 10 years ahead, and you'll realize how absurd this "Brown is so much better than UMich" is.[/quote][/quote]
