[quote=Anonymous]I feel like folks in these threads have never been around very many Ivy alums. Many (most?) Ivy alums are really unimpressive and often live very average lives. And unless you're in the rich "in" crowd before college, you're not likely to penetrate it on campus. Your dorky overachiever middle class kid will very likely fall in with the dorky overachiever middle class nobodies. Then your kid will very likely marry a state schooler. Stop trying to live through your kids--this creepy obsession with Ivies and how they're THE ticket to mobility, a path high status and decadence, is not only delusional, it's sad.[/quote]
