[quote=Anonymous]This topic refuses to die. And it's because it's a reflection of hopes and dreams rather than reality. A lot of perfectly nice kids go to the Ivies and end up no better off than if they'd gone to College Park or UVA, albeit they did get a special four year experience. As a pp said, the typical Ivy graduate isn't walking away with a loaded rolodex or great faculty recs. They may get a shot at a first job that if they play it well can help in careers but you'd be surprised by how many fail to capitalize on this. If they get that shot. The career centers aren't going to be filled with jobs waiting for you. There aren't huge pools of alums waiting to give you a job, most are too busy to even network. Will say sports teams, especially lacrosse and football, take care of their people. And the rich rich kids take care of themselves. But the rest of the 90% are just getting an education and then it's up to you to figure out what to do next. [/quote]
