[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More IVY ENVY and people feeling the need to justify their less than impressive diplomas.

Listen, if you truly believe in the value of your education and educational experience, you wouldn't need to defend it.

You'll never see an Ivy grad trying to persuade others that their education was better, no different, etc.

[b]If nothing else, an ivy grad is more confident which in and of itself would make that person the most appealing in the room.[/b]

And we've all had different experiences, but sadly in a room of mixed educational backgrounds, the ivy leaguer does stand out as being the smartest in the room. Or, he's holding back a bit as to not intimidate others. But I'll guarantee he won't be the dud.[/quote]

I agree.  Went to a third tier undergrad, very strong MBA program.  People often think that I have an Ivy background when they meet me.  This is because I am a vapid social climber who has practiced upper middle class WASP behavior patterns for years.  But that's beside the point.  I do agree that the ivy grad does stand out - the people who got is into Vietnam and Iraq, wrecked the financial system, sold out US workers in the name of globalization.  Yeah, they are the best and brightest.  Not a dud in the room.   [/quote]
