a medicore student is a mediocre student anywhere.
a 4.0 from Yale certainly means more than a 4.0 from Tullytown Technical Institute.

It is amazing! I went there for grad school and some of the treatment I have gotten is so funny. People who have treated me like an idiot will find out and then all of the sudden I'm an authority.
There is also the instances where people assume I am from a rich family or am stuck up because I went there.
It has been pretty entertaining, especially since I don't have any loyalty to the school and identify way more with my alma mater (which is one of the forgotten UC schools)!
And for posters who say that it does equate that is definitely not the case. I was a TA and I learned that it is nearly impossible for a Yalie to get an F (even if they worked very hard to earn themselves one). I do have to say that some of the students I worked with were amazing. They were smart an dmotivated and wanted to learn.
I think all schools have this variety of students it is just with Ivy league there is an assumed erudite stereotype.

I am not sure if this is a question or a statement, but here is an insight. I have talked to people who teach the students at Ivy league schools and from the sound of it, those students definitely are not any smarter, just richer. Piled on top of that are the high percentage of mama's boys and girls that cry to their parents if they get less than an A. So every time the TA's grade a paper they have to consider that if they grade the way they should, they are going to get a phone call from an irate parent who can't believe that their kid got a B on a paper when the quality of the paper clearly as A (read, C-, the TA was trying to avoid this call by inflating the grade to a B).

This is affirmative-action admission quotas for rich imbeciles. Yale's whoring professors pad the grades of preppies just like a Football University passes through illiterate athletes. So the university insults talent in three ways. Why does it still have credibility as an educational institution?

I'm sure you'd get a better salary with a degree from Yale than from a Community College. It's still a degree either way, but one will definitly get you further if you have half a brain.

Umm doesn't it sound better when you can say "I graduated from Yale" instead of "I graduated from the community colledge down the street"? What do you have against Yale anyway?

No, but graduating from Yale does, oh, and from Havard too.
