The Wall Street Journal reports what
anyone who has attended an Ivy League school will already have noticed
- students from elite prep schools in the New England area such as
Phillips Exeter Academy in Andover, Mass. are particularly successful
in sending their graduates to Harvard and other Ivy League schools.
Interestingly, Daewon Foreign Language High School in Seoul, which sent
14% of its graduating class to the American schools surveyed by the
WSJ, made it into the top ten rankings this year for the first time.The
article cites ‘the power of the counselor’ as a key factor in the
success of these schools. |

 The Wall Street Journal reports that graduates from Ivy League universities have higher starting salaries and better earnings expectations over their careers than other graduates. Dartmouth College graduates have the highest median salary, at $134,000. The article mentions that this may have something to do with the kinds of jobs Ivy League graduates tend to take:
One reason why Ivy Leaguers outpace their peers may be that they tend
to choose roles where they're either managing or providing advice, says
David Wise, a senior consultant at Hay Group Inc., a global
management-consulting firm based in Philadelphia. By contrast,
state-school graduates gravitate toward individual contributor and
support roles. "Ivy Leaguers probably position themselves better for
job opportunities that provide them with significant upside," says Mr.
Wise, adding that this is the first survey he's seen that correlates
school choice to a point later in a career. |
