[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true. I went to an Ivy and I'm a Fortune 500 CEO.

Everyone should send their kid to an Ivy 25 years ago so they can be a Fortune 500 CEO too!

Look at Sundae Pichai, Satya Nadella, Jensen Huang, Tim Cook... [/quote]

Sundai did attend UPenn and Satya attended an [b]ITT school in India which are the equivalent of HYPSM.[/b]

Jensen has a graduate degree from Stanford and gives tons more to Stanford than Oregon where he did undergrad.

Tim Cook I will give you.[/quote]
IIT isn’t equivalent to HYPSM, not even close. Don’t tell me you are concluding this based on the acceptance rates.[/quote]

Huh?  They are even more determinant of one’s fate in India compared to HYPSM in the US…but they likely are less meritocratic in terms of acceptances.

Thats how it goes in most Asian countries.  You have to attend a top school.[/quote]

I don't know how things are in India but Korea is pretty merit driven.  We recently impeached and removed a sitting president in part for using her influence to get a friend's daughter into a top women's college.

You can pretty much predict which school you will go to based on your test score.  [/quote]
dp... I'm Korean American.

I think the Korean system isn't great either, but it largely works there because there has been no system racism in Korea, so they don't really need DEI for college admissions, whereas in the US, elite universities were only for WASPs for over a hundred years, up until the 1960s.  White legacies are still the majority at elite colleges.

Even so, the workplace for women is awful in Koreao, and it doesn't matter whether the woman went to a SKY uni.

But, yes, to the impeachment of the president. Wish we did that here.[/quote]

White legacies are not the majority on campus, ivy or any T20. Whites total are not the majority. [/quote]

There are more asians than legacies at pretty much every Ivy+ college.[/quote]
