What about for a global company?

Which sample group is smarter, and likely to be more successful in the future?

There has been a lot of controversy on this subreddit lately on if the highest meaningful tier should be HYPSM or Ivy Plus.

This page is for that discussion, battle it out in the comments below.

Is it true that people tend to identify more with their undergrad school than their grad school?

I watched an interview on a dude that went to Yale for undergrad and Harvard for grad school and says that he will always be a Yale person at heart even though he went to Harvard for more years.

Why is this the case? Question coming from a prefrosh

I have a lot of friends that go to UMass Lowell for Engineering and say that it’s Engineering program is similar to UMass Amherst’s but it has closer ties with the industry.

On the other hand I feel like UMass Amherst’s prestige and overall selectivity is just higher than that of Lowell’s but I don’t know because I’m not in the field.

Assuming a person can get into both which school do you guys think is better for the major overall?

You get a full ride if you pick the experience option

Im not trying to hate or anything, but I feel like out of the HYPSM schools Harvard and Yale have the same niche and Harvard fills that niche better than Yale.

So what do you guys do that’s better than (or different from) Harvard?

UMass Amherst Honors College (annual cost of attendance): 9k

How much more would you guys pay for MIT annually before UMass Amherst becomes the better choice?
