[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest myth is that the Ivy League is some sort of association that means "schools that are the best." [b]It's a football league, plain and simple[/b].

There's no merit-based criteria for getting into it. [/quote]

And there you have the biggest myth of all.[/quote]

How is that a myth? It's literally true.

Do you honestly think Ivy League schools confer a better education than, say, MIT, Stanford, UChicago, etc.? Do you think they open more doors, career-wise, than those schools? If you do, you're sorely deluded. [/quote]

Agreed. MIT, Cal Tech, and Stanford all offer a better return on investment than the Ivy League.  If you want prestige AND a good ROI, you should look outside the Ivy League.

Jeff Bezos’s son goes to MIT.  Bill Gates’ kids go to Stanford and u Chicago.  These are people whose kids could go anywhere because of how rich they are.   They didn’t choose Ivies despite having gone to Princeton and Harvard respectively.[/quote]
