[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivies are and will remain powerful because they attract the [b]best people[/b], not because of their courses or professors. Harvard will become more important, not less, because of its persecution by Trump. A year ago, no one would use the word "sympathetic" to describe Harvard--and yet now they have that, too. People can rage all they want about these institutions, but every parent and child will always maximize future utility, power, and wealth, and these places are the surest way to achieve that.[/quote]

No, they are increasingly seen as attracting the most pampered, spoiled, soulless social-climbers among us.

Who can forget the protester at Columbia who thought the people who took over an administration building still deserved to have their dining hall meals delivered to them?

The Ivies are only special if people respect them. Columbia is OVER. That is the first domino to fall. [/quote]

Should I tell this to the company I work for? They are pretty exclusive regarding who they hire and we just onboarded 3 Columbia students along with several others from a range of the Ivy schools. We also hire from other schools but the Ivy’s feature prominently in our hiring program [/quote]

Same. My nephew (rising Ivy sophomore) just got hired at an impressive International co. For internship during fall abroad at prestigious intl. university. That would not happen sophomore Fall at my alma mater (big public).

He had a host of internship offers this summer too.  [/quote]
