There's many opportunities to go through one of these institutions - you could do undergrad there, grad school, or one of multiple post docs. There's lots of people that go state school -> ivy/prestige -> state school and end up professors. Or state school -> state school -> ivy/prestige. Or state school -> state school -> state school -> ivy/prestige. If you work really hard, chances are you end up somewhere prestigious eventually. Probably hard to avoid.
I was also going to say that there are plenty of less prestigious schools that graduate a ton of professors, like UC Berkeley, but it turns out it's on this list hah.
- plonk 4y ago> less prestigious schools that graduate a ton of professors, like UC Berkeley How in the world can UC Berkeley be "less prestigious". It constantly ranks world top-10 in all rankings.
- mjfl 4y agoI was thinking ivy league. smaller, more selective schools.

- plonk 4y agoSure, but as a non-American I see it as more prestigious than e.g. Dartmouth, at least in STEM. Maybe some employers would prefer the Ivy based on selectivity though?
- willhslade 4y agoIt's also literally the first / biggest university on this list in the table at the end of the paper.
- colinmhayes 4y agoBerkley is more prestigious than most ivys imo. Princeton, yale, harvard are the only ones more prestigious. Penn and colombia are similar.
- yumraj 4y agoIf we use Nobel price as a proxy since we're talking of PhDs here, then only Harvard, amongst Ivys, is higher than UC Berkeley [0] Harvard : 161, Berkeley: 110, Columbia: 96, Stanford: 84, Princeton: 69, Yale: 65 and so on [0] https://sawadee.wiki/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_university_affiliation https://sawadee.wiki/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_univers...
- lapcat 4y agoBerkeley is actually higher than Harvard, because Economics doesn't count. ;-)
