One who wants to attend a Ivy League graduate school must attend as undergraduate?

Going to an Ivy MAY hurt you (in the humanities) if your language preparation isn’t as good as those coming from elsewhere, if your real, independent research isn’t as strong (there is nothing like Smith’s STRIDES at any of the Ivies), or if your professors don’t know you really well (i.e., you’re not the very top student, which would be far more common at an Ivy than at either a high-grade LAC, or even a second-tier state university.)

<p>But does this have anything to do with going to an Ivy? You can fail – or succeed – in doing any of the above at any college, Ivy or not.</p>
