Message: [QUOTE="xc84, post: 1119637, member: 1526"] They are not outliers, just the easiest to illustrate the point because they are so irrefutable. It's the real world. Notice I said there were non-Ivies involved too. Businesses have schools they prefer. I mentioned specific fields that could be taken in many schools. The point is that businesses don't recognize those exact same fields the same way without regard to where you go to school. Answer to your question, Harvard will win in pretty much any comparison you make which goes to the point that the school really matters in most cases. However, this is all tangential to my original point. I would advise someone in this kid's position to focus more on education and less on sports. He may have done that or think he has done that but an experienced adult can provide good guidance. [/QUOTE]
