The folks over at Online College Reviews sent me a link to their post entitled “10 Reasons an Ivy League Degree is Overrated.” I think the post has some good points to make so head on over there to take a look.
Now, just so we are clear, the eight colleges of the Ivy League are some great schools. This is not meant to bash those colleges. However, not all colleges are appropriate for all students even if you can get in. That is true for all colleges including the big name ones that people often aspire to. Do your research and figure out what colleges are best for you. And if one of them is an Ivy League school, great.
