[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both the article and the accompanying list of colleges vibe with what many have observed over the past decade or so. A lot of employers aren't impressed with the general caliber of Ivy grads in recent years compared to prior generations. And anyone who has gone through the college application process recently is very much aware that Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are rarely choosing the best and brightest for admittance. They by and large have different institutional priorities these days. The real talent is going elsewhere and this list seems to reflect that. I think it's a pretty solid list of where high caliber students go presently.[/quote]

Exactly.

Related: I think the longest lived harm to the prestige of the Ivy League from the current protests is going to result from the interviews with the student protestors. Even setting aside whether you agree with their position or not, I’ve never seen a more inarticulate bunch. They can’t put together a coherent sentence.  I’ve seen lots of commentary — “this” is our best and brightest?

Agree, and while they don't represent the majority, the cat is out of the bag that they aren't super students that are 10 feet tall. There are plenty of run of the mill students there, many of which have definitely not heard the word no a whole lot.[/quote]
