Elitist or Essential? Ivy League Is Subject of Debate

Submitted by Rita Agarwal, Oct 6, 2007 16:11

IVY education exposes self motivated, intelligent students to mentally stimulating and challanging enviornment. A degree from an IVY league represents "refined thought process".

IVY education is not for everyone. Those who choose to go are investing in themselves. In the process they earn a degree.

"Where you get your degree matters than what you do with it" thinking proves my point, namely, it is not for everyone. In that respect "yes it is elitist"
