[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you have fallen for the falsehood that going to an "elite" school somehow means you got a different education and should be walking a different road than everyone else.

The reason certain schools have an elite reputation has nothing to do with the education one receives there, nor with the future accomplishments of the majority of the graduates. Most are sitting in the cubicle next to the state school grad taking orders from the small regional college grad.[/quote]

This could not be further from the truth.  It is not a falsehood.  That does not mean every grad but for the overwhelming number they did get a different education.  Don’t fool or lie to yourself.  Most are on a different road.  [b]No most do not do the same things.  [/b][/quote]

That is because the schools select the students with either the best grades/scores/extracurriculars or the most money. The picked the winners and convinced them to pay $200k to put the Ivy name on their resume.

The Ivy grads I know are not particularly competent, often a PITA to work with, but they get hired so orgs can say they have Ivy grads.[/quote]
