They are also responsible for many other world-class empathetic figures such as Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Vance, DeSantis, Cruz, etc.

An Ivy would be far more transformative than a UVA degree

Parents can display the sticker on the back of their car and feel that they are better than those around them. 😉

This is harder than it sounds. Like, I REALLY want people to know my child is at Harvard, but it seems gauche to wear Harvard sweatshirts and have the bumper sticker. What should I do? I've started talking more about visiting Boston and stuff, but my Catholic friends all just think my kid is at Boston College (*gross*). Help!

Harvard. i would no longer send my kids there or any of the ivies. i want them to get an education not political indoctrination from the extreme left. Both are going to either Canada or Oxford ( already accepted)

Sorry, but protests are happening in Canada and the UK. McGill and Oxford already have protests going on.
Seriously, though, this is what students do. They protest, and when you have very large protests that happen internationally, you should listen. Students were not wrong about Vietnam or South Africa, even though at the time students were criticized by people probably like you for being naive, unpatriotic, hypocritical, etc.

Have you not seen the outtakes about the incredibly hateful/death threats that the anti-palestinian groups are using?

No benefits over CalTeech, Stanford, MIT, CMU, and even Georgia Tedh for STEM for sure. Dartmouth, for example, has not even clear advantage over U Michigen. Harvard, however, will have a clear advantage over UVA.

Zero return on investment and too much risk of what the education will do to my children.

Doubt you are really an Ivy grad cause people would not curse their padigree unless something like their kids wasn't let in their alma mater.

dp but another ivy grad who wont send his kid there:
1) there was no cursing
2) its spelled pedigree
my kids are going overseas

What’s with all the kids going overseas?

schools arent woke, students are there learn, no indoctrination, schools are less expensive, got into Oxford

Except they are woke. Just admit you are looking for prestige on the cheap.

Are you this much of a bully in real life? NO, kid wanted it, and got in. End of story.

Are you this much of a wimp in real life?

There are 3992 schools in the US outside of the Ivy League. You said you didn’t want your kid going to the Ivy League so you presented only Canadian and UK schools as the only other acceptable options.

Your English is awful so perhaps it’s your poor communication skills in your post.

Nobody says “No Ivy League” and then only implies UToronto, Oxford and Cambridge are acceptable for their kid except someone that wants prestige for less.

You ARE a bully because the PP didn't say those things and their english is fine. Go somewhere else and complain

+1. You can always tell you've won an argument on DCUM when the opposition starts in with "English is awful" "poor communication skills" "Reading comprehension is paramount" and so on. LOLOL.

Only when your command of the English language is above 2nd grade which was not the case with PP. I guess if you want to make a loser feel like a winner…go for it.

For those who need FA, ivy FA is better than 2nd tier FA. I couldn't afford WashU, Rice, USC, Vandy, Emory, Duke, NU, NYU... As good as the 2nd tier schools are, no reason to pay more for them than ivies. Choosing an affordable ivy plus school on small savings and cash flow over 2nd tier schools didn't ruin my kid's life.
