Re: Ivy League - I will take a Service Academy graduate or a Land Grant School graduate ANY DAY over an Ivy Leaguer.

How about a graduate from the Cornell Univ School of Agriculture (an original Land Grant College)?

Eggs-actly!

But I would clarify that it is very dependent upon the candidate. A good candidate, like Ann Coulter or Laura Ingraham, will gain much at an Ivy beyond "connections." And it depends on the major and what the purpose of the education is.

In some cases, you just can't beat that Ivy Leaguer. Most jobs, however, demand the good foundations that are obtainable (perhaps more easily!) at a non-Ivy state or other school. Obviously, Hillsdale is a great option in many ways.
