[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why no one will hire students from these colleges ever again. They are all fake people who have done nothing real on their own. They will be terrible team players on projects.[/quote]

Yes this is a little cringe but people will fall over themselves to hire from these schools.  Those that will not are a small subset and really a rounding error.  These people are led on a path but you cannot deny that they are crazy smart in ways that matter.  I would not worry about the team player with these kids.  They can adapt to anything.

Not a fan of all this but these kids are in demand after graduation.  You are filling yourself with fake news otherwise.[/quote]

Its true. Ivy + grads get a boost with the first job, in many careers, and for professional schools to a degree, though one has to hope the 23-tutor-propped-up fakers will crash and burn once they get to whatever ivy they are chasing. Just look at the recently-starting CS bubble: ivies and a narrow group of other top CS schools (Mit, Cmu, caltech, stanford, Berkeley..) are not seeing the slowdown in hiring. Presumably it could change with the first TO cohort graduating in 2025, but it seems unlikely that ivy grads will suffer[/quote]
