These are smart likable kids who become smart likable adults, and typically blow by the ivy nerds in terms of relationship, social, and career success
It is crazy. My best guess is there is inherent jealousy that kids can work hard play hard and enjoy themselves a bit socially and then have a good career. Anyone alumni I know from Bucknell and the patriot league schools are proud alumni and doing very well in their careers.
I wouldn’t read that much into it. It’s mostly just become a running joke because of one over the top poster.

Penn > Duke on the street, come on dog
yup and Cornell outcomes rival Princeton at many many BB firms - Cornell mafia is real on the street, and alive and well. If you don’t know this than you know nothing about the street

Agree that the first poster is incorrect. But Penn is not better than Duke, or at least not materially.
And now someone will post some pointless stats or the name of one or two famous senior finance people who went to one of the schools. Which is totally useless.

That is correct; but the kids from Drexel, Baruch and Bentley aren't likely to be doing the same jobs as the kids from Cornell, Georgetown, and Penn.
