For many, they might feel that an Ivy degree entitles them to lucrative job offers later on. In fact, the university does little to help students with jobs. Many non-technical and social science people are sitting in temp firms in NYC, Phil., Boston, and D.C. The ones with nice jobs are those who got admitted as LEGACY, which meant they did not have to meet the same academic standards as everyone else others. This same LEGACY group secured nice jobs afterwards—IF they could cut it in tech areas—by parents making calls across the East coast, contacting personal friends who'd hire their children.
I say apply here if you're a LEGACY, since the going is 100% smoothe all the way. Nearly 20%of the openings are specifically RESERVED for Legacy. Sweet deal!
