[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The young people I know who went to Ivy school have had mediocre career success post graduation. Some have gone back to school for JDs or masters, but there are people from much lesser schools in the same programs so WTF. Maybe Ivys are like most designer labels, they don't = quality.[/quote]

I don’t think they do much for most of the kids. Parents just want bragging rights. [/quote]

Yep, it's an ego thing for the parents mostly. [/quote]

It’s a massive boost (graduating with an Ivy degree) for FGLI kids. [/quote]

Any college is a massive boost for first gen. It doesn’t need to be Ivy. [/quote]

Your kid doesn’t need to go to an Ivy, either, then. [/quote]

I agree. They’re not. And I’m ok with that. I think ivy is overrated and the obsession with them is sick.[/quote]

Numbers do not lie. There is a reason why Ivies are so demanded--they provide an excellent education experience and high return on investment. [/quote]
