[quote=Anonymous]First of all, DC is fairyland so I would not consider it a benchmark. Most people here could not survive professionally in other markets (NYC, LA, SF/PA, Chicago, Boston). Although you can find serious players here, there are not many. Second, certain privates help students land a spot at the top schools. In NYC, top prep schools send 60% of their classes to the Ivies and top privates. So yes, it is worth in to send your DC to the right school. Third, there are more CEOs of major companies from Harvard/Stanford than other schools. Do your homework, punk. Finally, I don't think anyone said that you needed a degree from a top school to succeed. The point is that it helps more than a degree from a non-elite school ( See link: http://www.ceo.com/flink/?lnk=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.forbes.com%2Fsites%2Fsusanadams%2F2013%2F09%2F25%2Fthe-universities-that-produce-the-most-ceos%2F&id=305480).
