[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My anecdote - my husband and I graduated from a school that most here would think sucks (I’ve actually been told my degree isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, right here on DCUM!). We have friends who graduated from an Ivy that live close by. Neither one of them are doing anything groundbreaking, or are leaders in their field, or are raking in big bucks. We are both living comfortable happy lives. Between the 4 of us there is an MD (me), PhD (husband of the other couple) and 2 Masters degrees (my husband). 
I always wonder what the Ivy experience gave them that we didn’t have, that improved their lives more than if they hadn’t gone to an Ivy. But I guess we’ll never know. [/quote]

But it gave them the brand....[/quote]

And what does/did that get them?[/quote]

Freedom from worrying that they missed out on something, I suppose.  People are forever trying to prove they are as good as me despite having gone to state schools and it is weird and makes them seem insecure.  I don't care where you went to school and won't judge you one way or another, but those people sure like to say things to me like "well, I may not have gone to an Iiiiiivyyyy Leaaaguuuue school, but..."
