[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivy grad who will not send my kids. Look take your own risks, call me names and tell me my kids can't get in (they can). The ivy league has become complete garbage. Even if your child does not participate in this cult like behavior, too many employers will be afraid to hire them. No way I would invest the money in an ivy education anymore. Zero return on investment and too much risk of what the education will do to my children.[/quote]

When you take a deep dive into the outcomes, and your kid has sights set on T14 law or a top md-phd or startup boosts, you can see that ivies/ivy+ do in fact give a boost and are significantly overrepresented within these outcomes. An education with that peer group is second to none. It was true in my day and is still true with my kids at their schools. It opens doors wide even for average kids who attend. [/quote]

You are wrong.  Law schools now only care about GPa and LSAT.  Period (ok first generation and URM too).  They don't give a fig about where your kid went do and you get no boost? Why? because the stats used to be sent by all law schools to USNWR.  Since USNWR valued highly GPA and test scores those schools who could prove high stats on both were rewarded with a higher ranking[/quote]
