[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a drop in dignity and respect given once your kid goes to a uni ranked beyond around #70 that [b]I have witnessed. People don't say anything, of course, but behind others backs they judge.[/b] For LACs it's a lot less clear cut, I think, since many people don't know LACs as well.[/quote]

That says a lot about you and the people you hang out with. [/quote]
It's something I've witnessed in many circles with many different types of people.[/quote]

This only exists in the addled brains of the privileged DCUM types. Nobody else who matters (in the actual working world) cares. I’m 20 years out from an Ivy degree and literally nobody ever asks. I don’t recruit young people but if I did, I can tell you that there is one thing I would look at: writing and analytical skills. That can be gained anywhere and I certainly would not presume it can only be learned  at a T20. [/quote]

Writing and analytical skills have dropped off a cliff.  They don’t even write many papers at most public schools anymore.  We were told there are too many papers to grade.  The schools kids develop good writing skills are predominantly private or Catholic schools.  My kid is at an Ivy and his hand was stained blue from his 4 hour written final in one course. He did not have a single multiple choice exam.
