[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Faculty members get tenure at prestigious R1 research universities primarily because of their research and publications. Many of them do not focus a lot of time and effort into teaching undergrads and some avoid it completely if they can. You may get well-known professors but that doesn't equate to "better" in terms of teaching and classroom experience (particularly for undergrads). [/quote]

So why does everyone want to get into an ivy when it isn’t about the teaching?[/quote]

Typically they look to the lower level D1 Ivy League because they are limited athletically and are not good enough to play at a Power 5 school like Stanford, Northwestern, or Duke.[/quote]

This seems to be an odd response.  Not everyone wants to play college level sports.  My guess is the brand recognition that Ivies still hold.  Someone looking at a resume and sees Columbia will recognize the school and know the applicant likely has certain baseline abilities.  If I got a resume from Pamona or Harvey Mudd - at least before I had kids and started to pay attention to such things - I would have no basis for opinion.  [/quote]
