I used to want that Ivy League stamp of approval so badly. I recently heard a Harvard professor say that the most important value of getting a Harvard degree is you will never be impressed by a Harvard degree anymore. Well, my disillusionment came somewhat more indirectly - my graduate school advisor taught 7 years at Princeton before he went to my school for tenure. One semester I was his TA for a research methodology course. I told him that I understand how foundational this course is to understanding all social sciences, because I also took this course as an undergrad. He then told me that in his first year at Princeton, he taught this course and 1/3 of the class failed. He ended up giving those failing students Cs instead because he found out you had to fill out a huge amount of paperwork to even give a Princeton student a D, let alone failing one.

Ivy League master student here. I actually completely disagree with this video. I was a top student in my state university, couldn’t get a decent job because good firms simply don’t recruit there and won’t even interview. Went abroad, got ok-ish job and worked on making my MBA application flawless. 4 years after undergrad degree, got my Ivy MBA, countless job offers more than 5x higher salary than what I was offered before, incredible lifetime friends and also a global network of alumni. The level of teaching was on a much higher level and the contribution of classmates invaluable. My first employer re-paid my entire MBA tuition. Ivy diploma was definitely worth it for me.

I've been involved in STEM education for years, and I went to MIT and Harvard. The truth is that if you go to a flagship state university, and you get into the honors program, you will get as good a STEM education as you would have in the Ivy League. Any you'll save l alot of money. This is not always true for graduate programs, which depend on the professor or lab you work with. But it's absolutely true for undergraduate degrees.

Students today have way more pressure than my generation. The stakes are so much higher. I wish these students (and their parents who are behind much of the pressure) would just try to find the "best fit" school rather than focus a ridiculous amount of attention on a handful of Ivy League schools. Ease off on "the prestige" a bit, and just find a place where you can get an excellent education and career launch. But instead, folks are now hiring consultants to coach their kids through the "Ivy" admission process (starting well before senior year). We've heard the horror stories on the news, but the sad truth is even when everything is above board and legit, too much pressure and misery gets piled on these kids. They can't afford to slip up even once. It's an ugly situation.

You can apply this to almost any other college as well except the bar is much lower. Edit: It's sorta like the NBA Draft. Yeah a lot of players may feel like a team is doing them a favor by drafting them and taking them out of the hood, making them millionaires, and giving them a chance at generational wealth. However, they're not doing that to be altruistic, they're doing that because they're betting that you will become a superstar, take their team to the championship, and make the owners and the league richer.

The diff between the Nike and Harvard analogies is interior vs exterior. You generally get Nike for how it makes you feel.. you get Harvard because of how it makes OTHERS think of you. It gives you two edges -- networking and marketability. With Harvard, you become part of the brand. Maybe you get the same education as other institutions, but honestly, who cares - you'll need real training and experience after college anyway and everyone knows that.

Ivy League schools aren't really known for providing good education to undergrads. They focus mostly on research and recruitment since that is where the prestige comes from. They are known for making classes difficult, but difficulty doesn't actually mean you learn more. If your main goal is just to find a great education, look for a more student centric school. If you already have a major in mind, look for a school that has a well run department for that major. Try talking to students or graduates of prospective schools to see what they thought about their classes/teachers.

College admitance is so weird for a non-american. In my country major universities are public-funded: neither tuitions nor any other fees are charged, and admittance is based only on the results of a two-stage exam - open to everyone, regardless of their age, where they studied and their income. There are some quotas to black and poor people. Of couse funding is decreasing and most of the admittees came from middle and upper classes, but it is a way more "meritocratic" than US's.

School Counselor here- that return on prestige analogy is gold!

Thank you so much for this video. It is truly inspiring !

This is the truth lol. I went to a large public university and later went to Harvard. I realized it wasn't the school that I needed to get into to become "successful". My public university is the root of my knowledge and in turn provided me the ability in changing the world just as much as if it was an "elite" education. However, having also went to Harvard, it simply validates my belief. Made me believe in myself even more. That extra boost does help in creating idealism and vision to become even more ambitious than I believed to be possible.

The stamp is pretty secondary. The contacts you receive and the quality of the research facilities can really help in research and other opportunities. It will also help in e.g. finding investors in the future, or having that one contact into a company you want to work at.

Oh boy imagine my surprise when I learned in class that Harvard's endowment grows at billions every year. This also makes me feel a lot better that I decided not to apply to Ivy Leagues.

I feel that the ending of this video downplays how much difficulty is heaped on by rationalising that 'successful' people were always destined to be successful. Sure, similar levels of 'success' (money?) might be achieved, but this doesn't take into account (1) the journey and how much more difficult things had been potentially, and (2) what potential was lost out on, i.e. how much more they could have earned. Would have to see the study itself, but would be curious as to whether the donor applicant students actually brought down what the average successful life looked like. But more broadly, if you're already facing a disadvantage in the job market due to factors such as race, not having any possible advantage just makes things harder.

I liked your video, I am from Bolivia and I personally had planned to go to study at an Ivy League university or some Korean or Chinese university since I think that this way I would get the prestige that I longed for in the past when I was even more immature.

I get your point that Ivy League institutions are cash cows operating under the guise of charities, but 'Corporation' had a much broader meaning in the 17th century, when capitalism wasn't even fully developed. The relevant context here is the legal one, see OED 'corporation' 5a: "incorporated entity with the capacity to act as a legal person, having an identity in law distinct from those of the individual or collection of individuals of which it is comprised at any point in time."

Go international if you don't have max $ - cambridge, oxford, edinburgh, singapore, toronto. Still corrupt but not on this scale - you may even actually get in on talent.

This Makes so much sense especially since one of their required supplemental essays is "How do you hope to use your Harvard education in the future?" crazy...

Honestly when the guy said "when you think of the Ivy league, what do you picture?", I pictured expensive cash.

Pro Tip: just drift around on campus to meet the students and drop in on lectures.

When their main criteria is how much your parents make or can donate or who the student knows (legacy, friend of school, and other unethical criteria) the student quality will of course decline. That’s why in STEM fields like engineering and CS where you can’t BS your way through and succeed in the real world, non-Ivy schools outrank the Ivies. Employers know this and are much more certain of the quality of an aeronautical engineer from Georgia Tech than Harvard for example.

The quality of education doesn’t improve or differ just because it’s Ivy League sure math 55 is notoriously hard but it’s because it’s super fast paced The content or quality has not changed

So many have replied to my comment saying "the education at the Ivys may not be better, but you get networking and connections that will help your career. " This is immensely overblown. It's true that if you want to move to NYC or Wash DC, you will have a better chance getting into some industries (consulting, Wall Street, DC legal firms) with an Ivy degree. But in tech, it basically doesn't matter. If you apply for say, a programming job, you will have an audition. If you are smart and well educated, you will do well. If not, no. Even in law and Wall Street, the Ivy degree will only help getting your first job. After that, it's all you. I've lived that life, and I know. Also, most people do not move to NYC. They stay in the state that they are from. In that case the network from the flagship state U is actually better.

I have never been to an Ivy League school. Can you tell if calculus thought there is different from in a State University? Are the laws of physics better there? Are chemical molecules better there?

"The best and the brightest" mentality is not only factually false and elitist it is also kind of a self fullfilling prophecy. What I would add is that even if these schools added zero value to a student, just the sheer dream or delusion we all buy into makes them places where some really smart and ambitious people end up going (minus the nepo babies) so that was the best part of experience for me but the world has millions of incredibly smart people - certainly way more than the artificially maintained 5-7% that are admitted to Harvard or Yale each year.

I am avoiding lots of small things which lead to bigger problems because I dont know how to find a solution eg, trying to create sacred space to write but have stuff that I don't know where to put it but dont want to throw away and thus have no sacred space thus do not right thus delay my purpose etc. i have many little problems causing me big headaches so to speak.. also i cannot focus on one goal i have a bunch of stuff that must be sorted this year so many "goals" each are pretty much equally impt. I am overwhelmed with both these issues. You seem v good at this stuff so ... ty

Actually, the Universidad de Santo Domingo and the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo are the two oldest functioning universities in the Western Hemisphere (founded in 1538 and 1539 respectively), predating Harvard by almost 100 years.

thanks

I feel like ivy leagues, universities, and colleges will end up like encyclopedia

Also curious about why you feel this way. Unless the U.S. has a downfall like the Roman Empire, it seems unlikely just because of how ingrained in our culture it is.

@@MuffinPunk have you heard of the 10,000 years clock in California. It's basically a alarm clock if we survived in 10,000 years. They're haven't been a nation survive over 10,000 years. United States of the American used to be a country where one man feel comfortable to have one job and provide end meat to his family unfortunately middle class status is hard to achieve specially rent costs ridiculous in America. Rent costs monthly. We got international students on visa taking American jobs and illegal immigrant too. We build too many houses in America. Where I live, it's only houses and a military base... everyone mom kids forced them to focused on computer science. Young generation thinks web development is the future.. but computer science degrees was always useless.. But people don't understand that most big tech companies got a nepotism problem.. if you put a Indian as an ceo, then you will get Asians (Indian, Chinese, Korean, and ect ) working in your company. They're country is twice bigger in united state. How can we take over a country without using violence. Simple by taking the native jobs 🧐. Make the native homeless. Let be honest, most average Americans are lazy. We got a homeless crises and I feel bad for the veterans... oh yh, let have universities accept international students higher than a native. My university, we had too many international students... Canada was smart to kick the international students out of their country. I blamed the internet and airplane existence...

Is there a similar "university" model for MIT or it's similar to the Ivies? Is MIT more meritocratic than the Ivies even if they may expect to produce some great scientists and entrepreneurs?
