“Apparently anyone who does not attend an Ivy League school is poorly educated.”

It’s one thing I can’t stand about the breed. I attended what would be the equivalent of an Ivy League school in the south, graduating less than a decade ago. There was a sheer arrogance to the place I found very offputting by the time I graduated, and they haven’t seen a dime from me after I’ve graduated.

When given the chance, I attended by state school over Ivy League medical schools, namely because tuition was half as much, cost of living was lower, and I wouldn’t have to put up with insufferable smugness that comes from those places.

But why call them elitists (as some have done on this thread)? Sorry, I don’t give them that leverage. There was more common sense and more reasoned debate (though I doubt this holds true for many facits of medicine) at my southern state school than at my alma mater or in the Ivy League schools I’ve visited.
