[quote=Anonymous][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. They care about bragging rights in their communities.[/quote]

Wrong.  This isn’t how the world works, and [b]I have multiple degrees from top ivies.[/b][/quote]

Doubtful, very doubtful. The first part of you comment has zero context and makes no sense either.[/quote]

I actually do, which is why I don't get involved with squabbles on here.

Intelligent people do not care about bragging rights in their communities.  They pursue real things like working with top faculty on specific topics, pipelines for employment after graduation, internships, and real goals in their undergraduate education.[/quote]
