It does mean on average they are smarter and more accomplish than someone who didn't get into any IVy at that same stage of life.

This is such small thinking. Just because a person went to an Ivy League school doesn't make them a better human being nor more intelligent than a person who went to an Non-Ivy League school.

Exceptions to the rule but I said on average. It's reality that has data and facts to back it up.

I don't care about numbers and statistics...most of it is B.S. and skewed very heavily.

Think for yourself and don't rely heavily on statistics say because statistics are samples not the end and be all.

It's not only data but common sense. I'm not sure what it is that prevents you from admitting those with higher test scores/grades/income are smarter than you on average but whatever it is there is no reasonable logic behind it.

It's not common sense, because it's all YOUR opinions.

Nothing is preventing me, it's just life. The type of school you attended doesn't tell you everything about yourself. I don't let a piece of paper define who I am as a person nor my intelligence regardless of where it comes from.

Skewed? No. Just look at the average SAT score, HS GPA, and HS course load of the average student enrolling at Brown vs the average student enrolling at Flyover State U (let's say University of Idaho). The numbers speak for themselves.

Stop trying to deny the obvious.

Whether accurate our not, these are the metrics used for determining the value of an individual in the workforce, generally speaking. And the reasoning is not way out there. Someone who is careless in terms of education has a higher probability of being careless in employment. Psychologists believe that behavioral traits are not confined to specifics contexts. Management uses this as a basis for hiring.

Man, I'm not sure if you understand about others point of view.

As I said before, world is huge, no one know who are you, where are you from, and stuff. 2 geniuses, 1 in normal school, 1 in ivy school. Surely, if both achieved the same result then people would admire the 1 in normal school more than the ivy. But that is only when people know abour their background. The first impression would nearly always favor the ivy one.

Hey, I'm not ivy fan either. When I'm in middle school, my school is always 3rd grade when my friends are all ivy. But now I have a fortune and nearly all of them are still struggle to make meet ends.
