[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, the Ivies are for cultural capital:prestige. Prestige in this country has historically come from New England. California has the edge on money and innovation hence Stanford, Caltech. But the Midwest has none of these things. Northwestern might provide a better education and job prospects and be higher in US News rankings but that’s not how people calculate these things for themselves. [b]They care about bragging rights in their communities.[/b][/quote] The quest is for imagined prestige not academic excellence.[/quote] I don’t want my kid going to a school where people go just for prestige. What a waste of 4 yrs. [/quote]
