Often the greatest emphasis of attendance at an Ivy is the same as going "Big D1" in softball - bragging rights for the parents back home. It looks great on a bumper sticker. For many it is a self-validation of successful parenting, although all too often it is all about the hopes and dreams of the parents not the kids.
That could be very true, as well - and is probably one of the reasons why many of the Ivy League / "Big School Name" alumni tend to look out for their own when it comes to hiring practices.
Hey, I totally disagree with it, but see it happen quite frequently.
