Re: Best current Ivy League Womens programs?

so I guess we are supposed to forget you said that last part

how would anybody even know if women want to relive their youth as far as sports go, women haven't been playing long enough to know

a generation ago women weren't even interested in watching sports, as long as we are making assumptions about each other, my guess is that you are too old to have ever played sports at a high level

Wow, you are a total nutbar. Do you know anything about the history of women's sports? Haven't been playing long enough to know?! A generation ago women weren't even interested in watching sports?! Really?! You show your ignorance at every turn, and your guess is 100% incorrect. Nice try at an insult though. Now I know why so many others here ignore you. I'm joining them now.

100% agree with that. The resume is to get to the interview. The interview is where you need to outshine others to make the cut. Sort of like tryouts, and just like tryouts, practice makes perfect.

I also think that if a school is indeed "better" (and what makes a school better is rather subjective), then the graduate is likely to perform better in the interview and in the position once hired because a better education would have given her an edge for life after college. So if an Ivy graduate is preferred, it should be because she comes out more polished, not because the school has some "Wow!" factor.

My sister got a full ride to Yale so she went. After graduation she & her husband decided to stay in Connecticut. During the economic down turn in the late 80s her company wen t bust & she was unemployed. I mentioned that she had a degree from Yale so a new job shouldn't be as hard to find as it could be, she said "In the Midwest a Yale degree carries a lot of weight, out here everyone has one!" But a few years later they did move back & she found that a sheepskin that said "YALE" was indeed one way to the front of the line. The school itself had little to do with it though, the name was the key.

If the 'full ride' was based on your family's economic evaluation from Yale, then maybe it could be true, but often in hockey circles a 'full ride' refers to an athletic scholarship/award, and that doesn't happen at ANY Ivy League program

The "Law of Perception" at work from Ries and Trout's brilliant work "The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing"...which law they define as "marketing is not a battle of products, it's a battle of perceptions."

They further explain that "There is no objective reality. There are no facts. There are no best products. All that exists in the world of marketing are perceptions in the mind of the customer or prospect. The perception is the reality. Everything else is an illusion."

This principle or "law" is at work endlessly in the recruiting process in the coaching staffs' continual attempt to attract prospective recruits to their various hockey programs.

It was based on her field of study, geriatric psychiatrics. She had been working as an RN in State hospital and apparently Yale had money for someone who wanted to earn a masters degree in this area of expertise.
