I’m ok with this, but take out Columbia[/quote]

Agree Columbia is out[/quote]

There is a research article about how employers of elite firms view these schools, titled “Ivies, Extracurriculars, and Exclusion: Elite Employers' Use of Educational Credentials,” by Professor Lauren Rivera of Northwestern University.

Here’s a quote from the study:"Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, and University of Pennsylvania (Arts and Sciences) were frequently described as 'second tier' schools that were filled primarily with candidates who 'didn’t get in' to a super-elite school."

In other words, employers from elite investment banks and such generally group both Columbia and Wharton with HYP instead of the rest of the ivies. I think it’s fair to say that both Columbia and Wharton are elite.[/quote]

No in most finance circles, [b]Wharton is a step above Columbia[/b]

Wharton is 3 steps above Columbia!
