[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious Question; I’ve worked in large companies, government, and consulting firms. I don’t see a ton of Ivy League graduates killing it anywhere. Sure you see them from time to time, but the vast majority of people really succeeding in the USA didn’t go to Ivey league schools. [/quote] Agree.[/quote] Well thats a numbers game. You are confusing the share of Ivy ppl who are successful with the share of successful ppl who went to the Ivy league. Let take rough numbers. Per wikipedia the sum total of undergrad students at the 8 ivies is 62,000 students. While dept of Ed says there are 11 million undergraduates students in total at 4-year colleges. So ivy league students are less than 1% of all college students. Probably 10% of college graduates go on to successful careers so even if every Ivy league graduate is successful (not true) they account for, at max, less than 10% of successful ppl. [/quote]
