duke and brown have better
duke and brown have better reps than chicago, at least for undergrad. nu should be one tier higher and cal tech is top tier. nyu stern should also be somewhere.
I beg to differ. Street cred
I beg to differ. Street cred is similar to academic cred. Normally you would lump together Cornell, Columbia, Penn and Brown, however Cornell and Columbia et al are research powerhouse and Brown simply isn't. I went to Yale and I am tempted to knock Yale down below Cornell b/c Cornell is a research and science powerhouse. However street cred is a little different. Yale simply has more prestige b/c of admissions.
how about non-US schools on
how about non-US schools on wall street, where would they rank with those schools above? say oxford or LSE?
Duke over UVA?
UVA should be ranked ahead of Duke. Duke is horrible...an unbiased opinion.
OxBridge would go on the
OxBridge would go on the 1.
LSE would go 2.
Westpoint,Navy go 3.
Coast Guard, Airforce, Sandhurst (Brtitsh) go 4.
Yes, I made an error, Duke should go down to the 4 space.

(gap)

yea i would say this first
yea i would say this first list is pretty legit, however i think hyp gets slighly more prestige than wharton mit and stanford
Michigan B school
Don't discount Michigan's B school, it is one of the best in the country, undergrad is top 5 and grad was number 1 last year. It's highly regarded over a lot of iveys because most of them dont have b schools.
michigan is a state school.
michigan is a state school. its pretty good and i think its probably better than some ivys cause they have some amazing faculty members but our world is biased and people simply prefer private school students with similar or slightly lower academic credentials over public school students
i think mit and stanford
i think mit and stanford stay, but wharton goes down to 2
do people really care what
do people really care what school you went to after a few weeks into the job? i imagine new friendships irregardless of where you went to school are made, and your bosses won't really care where you went once they see who is really performing? or does going to harvard help overcome deficiencies even on the job?
doesn't matter
once you start it doesn't matter so much. if you when to a shitty school and outperform the stanford kid, you will be given more responsibility and eventually people won't care.
We care because individuals
We care because individuals from state schools tend to use words like "irregardless".
List
This list needs some work.
I agree Georgetown kids get some opportunity but the majority of kids coming out of there - idiots. Quality of education is horrible and the business school is worse than any of the top 10 public schools with a u-grad business program.
what about Stern people
