Any Ivy League Graduates?

Chicago
Georgetown
Berkeley
Stanford
MIT
Caltech

even Vanderbilt and Duke

Great, world class universities. Non Ivy.

Let's not forget McGill and University of Toronto! LOL

I got some Ivy degrees at the Saks sale, but I feel like I have learned as much on my own.

There's a much longer list of world class schools that aren't ivy leagues than that.

Obvious ones would be Northwestern, Swarthmore, Emory etc...

I feel like the Northwesterns and Emorys of the world have less name cachet than they should.

Then again, I think only DUMBER PPLZ have this perspective. Most people with a good education will know that Northwestern and Emory are very good universities.

Yes they definitely do, except for Medill and Kellogg. Northwestern is ranked #11 or 12 in all the famous lists or whatever, but I doubt most people know it.

Yep. They have a really great history department there. One of my favorite historians got his PhD at Northwestern.

I wish this thread would die. It has become one huge ePenis contest.

Unrelated, but my e-penis is 9 parsecs long.

I hate Northwestern and think it's an overrated school. Don't feel like getting into why (and no, I neither applied to nor was I rejected from it).

I think it really comes down to this; would you rather have a conversation with people from a state school, or a traditional elite private school? I'd rather have the conversation with the latter, but many people would rather talk to the former. It doesn't mean anything positive or negative, it's just a preference.

I have three degrees from a prestigious Ivy school. My older child, who went to a state school, got a fabulous education; met good, intelligent people; and was accepted and wooed by the three Ivy Ph.D. programs to which she applied.

George Bush graduated from Yale and Harvard Business School.

Overrated: WashU, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Emory, Brown

Underrated: Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame

Johns Hopkins is not underrated.
