[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]But the connections that a first gen would get from the Ivy is massive vs the state school. [/b] Whereas for most at the ivies, they already have the ability to make those connections with their families position in life.

Delusional fantasy not based on reality. You think the billionaires like Jared Kushner at Harvard was hobnobbing around with first gen or poor or minority peers? Heck no.[/quote]

Data says otherwise. [/quote]

[b]This sort of data and research is easily faked and juked.[/b] For example, this current freshman at Brown says many of her "first gen" "minority" and/or "low income" Ivy peers are scammer con artists who lie.

I don't care what one little girl said in a post in the Daily Beast. [/quote]

I don’t care what a misogynist thinks. [/quote]
