Ivy for grad school.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Depends on the field of study. In my profession, the Ivies do not have the best reputations.
Depends on the particular dept at the particular Ivy
I work with a guy who got his Chem PhD from Cornell. Very sharp guy, humble, nice person. While working in private industry as a researcher, he had to hire a large number of interns over the years, both from Ivys (UPenn) and 2nd tier. He thought the UPenn interns were excessively full of themselves, from the years of being told that they were the elite of the elite. The interns from 2nd tier schools were just as smart, and more importantly did not feel that doing actual work was beneath them
What field is that?
