Well, we know this. Getting in to MT isnt exceptionally difficult. If you can pull a 21 or 22 on the ACT you can be fairly confident you have a very good chance you will be accepted. The value of the education is more important at a school like this than the prestige it took to get in. Could I have gone somewhere more academically prestigious? Sure, but it was the right fit at the right time for me.

That said, I work in DC where Ivy League degrees are a dime a dozen. And I hold my own pretty well. And while I've worked with some insanely intelligent people over the years most of the Ivy Leaguers have only one thing I don't and that's the Ivy League network. Well, that and a trust fund.
