[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a hill I die on. It will serve you much better to go to a prestigious college over a prestigious program.

Yeah, let me go study public policy at Indiana instead of Yale! That's the way! Please.[/quote]

100%.. Econ at an ivy or Stanford will get one much further in life than Ross at Michigan or McIntire or anything else that is not Wharton at Penn. Even Econ through arts& sciences at Penn is better than Ross or McIntire, and has almost the same outcomes as Wharton.

Same with Engineering. Engineering at the ivies that have it, or Northwestern, or Hopkins, will lead to much better career options and phd placements than Purdue or VT.

Global reputation and endowment matter more than ever for research funding, the rankings that focus on research output and industry reputation will be better environments for undergraduates, especially stem.[/quote]

Again, this entire argument is a strawman, this thread is not about choosing an average state flagship over an ivy.[/quote]
