[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newsflash: many people from HYP have very average careers and salaries. The same is true of other Ivies, “new Ivies,” and non elite schools. Top schools offer challenging academics and peers who were exceptional students between the ages of 14 and 18. That’s really it.[/quote]

Sure "many" people have typical careers from ivies. But the average student at an ivy does on average better in life(measured by salary 10 yrs out, or by prestige of grad/professional school, or whether they end up CEO or VP at a top nonprofit or top company). The top 1/4 of ivy grads are far far more successful than the top 1/4 of average flagships. The chance to land "outlierish" opportunities that are popular DCUM and everywhere (T14 law, T20 med or phD, MBB or similar consulting, quant finance, fellowships such as Rhodes/Fulbright/Marshall) are much more likely from an ivy-level: they are all in reach for roughly the top 1/4 of these schools. The chances are slim to actually ZERO for schools a couple of tiers below, even for the very top students.
