If my kid got accepted, I'd probably send them. If I am hiring for a position, I'd weed out any candidates from there.

How is that for duplicitous?

Since the entire staff seemed to support her and her thoughts if you sent your kid there you're part of the problem

I can't argue with you there. At the same time, the reality is Ivy League grads are set up for life. Period. Not saying they deserve to be, but they are. In fact, I can point to numerous times some Harvard mba dummy came in and screwed up a whole process with his data processing and power point charts that do not take into account reality. Yet they get promoted before and above anyone with actual experience because of that degree.

So as I said, for my kids, I would absolutely jump on giving them that ticket in life. But for my company, I'd never bring in that sort of BS. Over time, I do believe the stigma of prestige will fade away because of this stuff. But it has not yet.

Not even if it was free. It's the definition of an institution that has lost all worth to society.

My son graduated from their law school. Proud of his academic achievements but even more proud that he came out of HLS even more conservative than when he started there.

some times exposure to something makes you hate it

for everyone that says, don't smoke around your kid or they will smoke, sometimes it makes them not want to smoke

congrats
he will get rich if he wants to

Ivy League schools don’t offer athletic scholarships. Are you saying he was accepted to play football and then received financial aid?

U Penn is one of the few that offers limited (worked around as financial aid) football scholarships, but they hardly count as Ivy League.

No son of mine will ever set foot in that hovel. No sir, we are Yale men.

Not really, but it feels good to say that.

Gotta call a spade a spade, the Swensons are state school trash.

Deplorable rabble, you Elis.

Havaad.

Go to a Baptist university. Money grows in trees if you’re wanted there.
