[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. People that graduate from an ivy are not likable. Hopefully it will change in the future but currently the graduates have a very low EQ. I do think they are trying to change this, but 30+year olds.. Not likable.

I have multiple friends/family who graduated a ivy. Thank god for their spouses ... I am not sure anybody would tolerate them alone.[/quote]

Wow, talk about making statements based on nothing.  That's just not true.  I am an ivy grad (though for graduate school, which is a different population than the undergrad crowd), married to an Ivy grad (for undergrad and grad school).  You could not meet a more likable person than my DH.  Really, everyone likes him, it's ridiculous.  And his friends from his Ivy are some of the best, most fun, generous, altruistic, nice, funny people I know.  And I grew up with ALL kinds -- most certainly not Ivy.  
Are the ivies admitting based on likability?  Not really.  But lots of very smart people are also very intelligent socially.  It's not an either/or.  You must have a very limited data set to draw your false conclusion.[/quote]
