<p>You obviously missed the point of one of my previous posts because I never claimed that “only elite private schools are impressed by Ivies.” I merely asked the previous poster whether or not they were from a private school and/or wealthy to provide a little context as to their assessment that Ivies are a big deal where they were from. I only asked the question because I’m going to assume that the perceptions of Ivies are different between private school/wealthy students and public school students.</p>
<p>I honestly believe that if someone is going to make an assessment on prestige, they need to provide a little context as to where they’re coming from ie public/private school, upper/middle/lower class, what state they live in. People can’t make blanket statements about prestige because prestige is different across states, classes, etc…</p>
