[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child will be going to UVA. Got rejected from Ivies. What are we missing by not going to Ivies for pre-med. Outside of pre-med, do Ivies and other top schools create employers and other schools create employees[/quote]

For pre med, your child is missing basically nothing.

Outside of pre med, ivies are feeders for certain elite companies in finance, consulting, and tech. Goldman Sachs, [b]McKinsey, Google[/b], etc. That is their main advantage. Ivies also attract type A personalities who go on to found companies, like Facebook and Microsoft. But they aren't magical founder factories - Gates and Zuckerberg notably dropped out. Your kid will get an amazing education and do great things in life from UVA.[/quote]

lol both of these recruit heavily at your top Tech/Engineering schools[/quote]

Yes, and UVA's undergraduate business program is a target for IB. Still easier to get recruited from an ivy for most of those fields.[/quote]
