Let me guess, you're an Ivy Leguer?
Wow, I guess I should have put a sarcasm tag on that sucker. As a fellow state school engineering grad (BSEE-Purdue) I was trying to agree with you in an amusing way.
The Ivy League doesn't look too bad on this ROI Chart.
When you consider you may not pay any more to attend an Ivy than to attend a public college it's a good opportunity if you can get in.
Getting in is the hardest part.
