[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. A lifetime of [b]not having to prove how smart you are[/b]...especially important for women.

2. Some organizations [b]only hire Ivies[/b] (especially in high-level finance and top law firms)

3. You [b]never have to apologize for where you went[/b].
(For example...why would you go to Bates and pay private tuition when a great state university would be cheaper/better).

4. [b]If you have to ask[/b]...[/quote]

Wow.  This, +100.

Hmm. this is interesting.  I didn't attend an Ivy.  Actually I attended at top public flagship.  In my workplace,

1.  People know how smart I am. They see it in my work and in my conversation every day.  In fact, I have been told on at least two occasions that I am one of the smartest people they've met.

2.  There are people in my organization who went to Ivies - some are up the chain and some below.

3.  I never, ever have to apologize for where I went.  There is nothing wrong with my alma mater.  I made great connections that have helped me career-wise, nailed down my command of a hard foreign language, enjoyed my college experience, graduated from a recogniized program in my field of study, and only have very little college debt.

Hah! [/quote]
