How prestigious are ivy league universities?

<p>I don’t see where your 40% comes from toast eater-- </p>

<p>[FEEDER</a> SCHOOLS](<a href=“Lsac.org”>Lsac.org)</p>

<p>Looks a lot closer to 20% to me, and I don’t think the number of people who enter law doubles over time.</p>

<p>Looking at Brown’s outcome sheet : <a href=“Office of Institutional Research | Brown University”>Office of Institutional Research | Brown University;

<p>Ten years out we’re at 14%. Don’t pull numbers out of your butt then point out the webpage that proves it.</p>

<p>Just so that you don’t have to click through to see Brown’s 10 years out numbers, 35% masters, 28% MD, 22% doctorate, and 14% law. Oh, and I just realized, that’s of the 75% of all students who get a degree after undergrad, meaning each of those need to be lowered 1/4 to get to the overall student body number. 40% indeed.</p>

@toast eater

ny yankees-look at this situation-you are running the corporate training program at some Fortune 500 with the goal of ten years down the road producing the the next set of division controllers, regional sales managers, and project leaders. All the new hires are on board. For all the non-Ivy people this is a dream job, a chance at six figures ten years down the road and a four bedroom house in the burbs. It may be a dream job for the Ivy guy as well, except that everyone around and above him is going to wonder when he’s going to leave for law school or some investment bank, and why he is “slumming” at the company. The Ivy guy may work as hard, be as much a team player and really want to be there and make a career as much as everyone else, except that the reactions of his peers and superiors will be different towards him because they willl perceive that he has options which they don’t have. This creates a tension that the Ivy guy has to overcome that makes his wanting to be a division controller a harder trek than if he had gone to the University of Connecticut, Rutgers or Ohio State. In this scenario, an Ivy diploma does put this guy at a net disadvantage.

<p>Also, cool story bro.</p>

<p>I could weave my own, but then I’d be talking about a company whose hiring practices I disagree and make myself sound supportive.</p>
