<p>lololololol</p>
<p>Ha, I was actually just referring to the suicide gorge at Cornell, but sure! Let's make some headlines!</p>
<p>I have never heard Cornell/Brown/Penn/Dmouth alums call themselves "Ivy League graduates" instead of graduates of their respective schools. People who do that are either very insecure about their school's name (very few would be, after four years of cultivating school pride) or are assuming that you are too stupid to realize that their school is a member of the Ivy League. No one would ever call themselves an "Ivy League grad" in educated circles... I have no idea where that comes from.</p>
<p>Second, in reply to Nickelby who says that Harvard's name recognition = job, I can say that a school's name will only carry one so far. Harvard has the best name recognition INTERNATIONALLY, but within the US, any educated hirer at any company can easily dispute that claim right there. Having worked in the IB training department of JP Morgan where new employees are hired and trained, I can say that Harvard in no way dominates with its name brand in each year's group of new Ibankers. In a competitive job market, your achievements will carry you much farther than you school's name ever will. Besides, grad school matters MUCH more, and after job experience accumulates, grad schools, much less undergrad college, matters MUCH less.</p>
<p>Companies are smart enough to hire people based on their potential, not their school. Going to UCLA vs Harvard won't give the Harvard guy a much higher chance of getting hired once you're a few years down the road and have accumulated some experience.</p>
<p>anyone have the count?</p>
<p>The count of what? Where everyone's applying and the ED numbers?</p>
<p>Oh man, tomorrow is so the last day of November. You EA/EDers must be positively dying!</p>
<p>rabo, yeah, that count
willywonka...you are so wrong for saying that, but you are so right in saying it!</p>
<p>Ok, count:</p>
<p>Harvard: 13 (4)
Yale: 22(10)
Princeton: 19(7)
Dartmouth: 13(2)
Brown: 19(1)
Columbia: 16(0)
Penn: 16(2)
Cornell: 8(1)</p>
<p>Stanford: 3(2)
UVA: 2(1)
Georgetown: 3(3)
Duke: 2(2)
MIT: 1
Berkeley: 1
UMich: 1</p>
<p>Is anyone up for conducting a more detailed polling? I know a lot of schools have EA/ED "rosters." Harvard's, for instance, has upwards of 45 kids, and Harvard's board is one of the less active ones. Going around to each board and trying to get an EA/ED/RD count would be an ambitious undertaking, but with interesting results. A College Confidential Census if you will.</p>
<p>Yeah, sure, because as you say, this poll isn't really realistic. I mean, princeton's board is hopping with EDers, and there are only 7 of them here.</p>
<p>This it total polling, not Early, but that would be neat.</p>
<p>The only forums that have easily accesable counts are Yale (63 EAers) and Harvard (50).</p>
<p>princeton doesn't have one?</p>
<p>When does each college notify ED ppl and how?</p>
<p>Brown: Dec 10, online</p>
<p>Harvard EA...we're guessing Dec. 10 by e-mail/mail</p>
<p>oooh! bad news for Harvard people, it seems...apparently, decisions aren't being e-mailed on dec 10, but on dec 15...can anyone give input?</p>
<p>Dec 14th, I think. Still horrible... the weekend of the 10th will be hell.</p>
<p>i agree, justforgetme...let's have a party on CC for all EA/ED applicants that weekend!</p>
<p>Maybe if we weren't spread out across the country.</p>
<p>Well, Ohio's in the middle... so party at my house!! Everyone's invited (although you + slimlic might want to get a hotel room :-P)</p>
<p>justforgetme...lol...i think both of us are more worried about EA decisions right now! actually, i think we need to find someone in missouri...that's more like the middle of the US :)</p>
