Message Name: Respectfully I must

In Reply To: I agree with the last poster. These are both elite schools, and their students often have great opportunities when they graduate. The one key difference is location. Stanford has a stronghold in Silicon Valley, so it is by far the best degree to have if you catch .com fever. Princeton is the quintessential east coast establishment school. It is probably easier to land an i-banking/consulting job from there than from any place in the country, cuz one makes so many connections. These are both great schools, and the foolish bickering that goes on among limp-dicked idiots on this board is simply pathetic. Get a life.
Message: Respectfully I must take disagreement with the last poster. Here in the UK Stanford holds the trump card even for oldline positions in investment management and the consulting industries. At Oxfordshire-and beyond, Princeton barely merits mention though I imagine it used to carry a certain weight through the 80's. Except for that Bradley fellow there just isn't much to say for Princeton.
