hell no, chicagoscholar. i wouldn’t PAY to get grade deflation and to have an anal four years and not to get to go to a grad school of my choice. hell no. i am a smart consumer.

and to the OP. it’s not all about the prestige. Dartmouth would be worth a llot more than say, wash u or chicago for the simple fact that Dartmouth grads, for example, are known to hire fellow grads over equally qualified candidates. you get a huge leg up from going to one of those very tight-knit institutions.

ivy league still means a lot if you want to work anywhere in top finance or law circles. some of the top wall street law firms, for example, are known to hire exclusively people with ivy undergrad degrees. it is, after all, a lot easier to get an ivy grad degree. and it says a lot less, too, about the person you are.
