I don't go to an Ivy so what I'm about to say doesn't inflate my ego. The reality is that Ivy's have a more rigorous academic schedule, secondly another great benefit of an Ivy is the social aspect of it. When you go there you're expected to network so you are more sociable and able to communicate effectively.
So yes on average Ivy League students are better than their counterparts, however if you have a fire in your ass you can outwork them but you have to demonstrate that to employers.

It can seem that way because so many fields have many of their big figures as folks who went to top 10 schools and then only taught at those schools.

However, it also seems like every field has a handful of top luminaries who went to some low reputation school and kept teaching at low reputation schools their entire career but nevertheless have risen to the top in esteem. And then for the big paradigm shifting folks it seems almost like a majority drift around and actually have shit reputation at times in their career, probably because they work on problems no one else thinks are important and are stubborn, and then they get rapidly lifted to luminarie status when their work is finally discovered. They may or may not be alive to enjoy this.

it was for a phd. I am not sure why I got rejected. I talked afterwards with the professor whose lab I was super interested in joining, and who was also part of the admission committee, and he told me my experience was relevant, but they had too many strong candidates for just a few spots in his lab. I think I needed either more top publications than I already had (1) or recommendation letters from more reputable professors. The guy that got in this professor's lab didn't even had top publications according to his CV, but had rec letters from very renowned researchers.

Papers coming out in 2022 still refer to/pol/ types as "the alt-right," lol.

Still, I think it's a phenomena worth studying. For one, a number of terrorists carrying out indiscriminate, mass fatality attacks, the type of attacks that used to be associated only with radical Islamist terrorism, have explicitly cited /pol/ as a key motivator/indoctrination point.

Second, propaganda outlets on both sides use the seedier, anonymous, internet cesspits that attract their hyper partisans to vet and pick off talking points and generate content. It's entirely not shocking that a Tucker writer got outted as a regular poster on an explicitly supremacist site with tons of /pol/ memes on it. There is a bidirectional flow of ideas there. Memes undergo natural selection and big mass media outlets pick up the ones that reproduce best, while also selecting for things that aren't too offensive or far from the truth.

I've also seen this shit rot people's brains. A guy I went to high school with was fairly nonpolitical and even leaned liberal. He worked on an ambulance and wanted a union. He went to Occupy Wall Street protests.

With the Trump fever explosion he went more and more down the rabbit hole, eventually using /pol/ as a main source of information on current events. He fulfilled his persecution conspiracies by showing Holocaust memes to the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, who oppressed him, showing Black people are animals memes to someone on a circle of friends who had a half black sister, etc.

Having lost most of his friends he now has a life that fits the message of how he is oppressed. From what I understand now, he still lives with his parents in his 30s and spends all his income on his "Boog loudout." Pretty sad, almost as bad as the people I've seen in heroin.

Got accepted at Yale, from a lower-class White family - the thing I remember most about the graduate student visit was that fucking everyone pretty much did whatever they could to make me feel unwelcome once I let it slip that I wasn't from money. The other students from my group actively avoided me at the hotel (including collectively leaving the dining area when I walked in for breakfast the morning of the tour), the grad students we talked to dismissed my questions, and even the faculty who we were introduced to snubbed me.

If you're in the rich boy club or you're a minority they can pander to for good boy points on social media I'm sure they roll out the red carpet - but if you come from a blue collar family you're treated like a fucking untouchable caste, like accepting you was a fucking clerical error or something and they've just realized their 'horrifying' mistake.

Good post. The University controls the thoughts of the world. They select heads of state, they select think tank members, they select politicians at nearly every level. They define truth. They are Science. Their members end up appointing people to anything you can think of. Your proposal to merge your business with another? Blocked by the government, unless of course you can convince a graduated member from the University that it's for the best. Writing a news article? Guess who hired your editor. That's right, the boss, who is from the University. The CEO? University. The President of your nation? University. The body of laws of your country, which defines which actions you are allowed to take? You guessed it. It comes from legal experts, who are from the University. Low IQ individuals may not understand The University. That's fine. Just know that there is a reason why the Ivy League schools have so much influence. That's what the University is. They set themselves up to control all culture and information. You've been under their power since your first waking moments. It starts long before baby's first classroom.

Bear in mind that if you have a master's, more achievements will be expected of you probably because you would have had extra time. I was also in CS, in AI to be more precise. I was told that for top AI programs in the US, a top publication is basically a requirement to even be considered (don't know if that's the case for all CS fields). Some professors told me the recommendation letters are the most impacting factor. Many are waving GRE, so I guess you shouldn't focus on that. I guess the most useful advice would be trying to do meaningful research projects with as many highly renowned faculty as possible during your undergrad or masters, preferably resulting in 1st author top publications, so that they would give you great recommendations. You can try to do summer research internships with professors at other universities as well, if you fail to find ideal professors at your university. You should also deeply research faculty and labs you would want to work with during your PhD, and try to contact them (you need to google tips on how to contact them). They rarely answer though. The safest way to get to them is if you happen to know a professor who's had contact with them, or even better, recommended students to their departments. If they trust someone who knows you and can attest to your competence in any way, you are way more likely to get an answer from them. And if the professor at your target program mentions your name to the admission committee, your chances increase a lot. I failed at GTech, but I still managed to get into a decent program because my Master's supervisor had recommended previous students to their department and knew a professor there who recommended me to the committee.

The unironic jews that post on /pol/ openly talk about their shenanigans.
Some of them say "Yeah, it's kind of fucked up what those jews are doing.",
some of them say "Yeah, we're honestly just going to continue jewing, because that's literally what we do."

But you're not completely wrong about it's not 100% jews to blame. But overall, the people in Sandland are doing quite a bit of damage not only to the West, but the whole world(including themselves...).

MIT has become a woke trash can, yes they still lead in many areas but their selection process is basically picking negros, homos, and women. Go to their facebook page and look by yourselves, they basically said that giving opportunities to the most deprived/oppressed groups is the education of the future and that if you're white or east asian go fuck yourself.

These institutions that you think are nepotistically favoring Jews had quotas that literally banned us from them only eighty years ago. Feynman couldn't go to Princeton because they had already hit their Jew quota. Einstein was passed up for jobs and had his work ignored by countless physicists for the same reason. Tribal morons literally slowed down the progress of science because they had a hate boner for Jews.

For thousands of years we were persona non grata in almost all Christian-dominated academic spheres because of some bullshit story about how we killed an itinerant Jew in the middle east. But sure, cherry pick the handful of cases where the larger trend line doesn't fit - all from the United States and all from recent history.

that's why all the times you were expelled from nations throughout history it was purely on a religious basis, right? even though they had previously accepted you and given you guys high status jobs in finance due to usury being illegal for Christians to practice? it had nothing to do with your collective behavior, I'm sure.
