COMMENT: If your bank account allowed it, which of these universities would you want to send your child to in order to walk the same hallowed halls as future Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Billionaires?
Considering the level of current presidents/prime ministers, I'd say the quality and prestige of western schools has decreased significantly. I won't send my child there...
To be honest, I don't watch this channel's videos just to enlarge my knowledge of loaded people but to learn English 😳 The writings here are so good!!!
I understand that students at these schools have a great number of connections thus leading to wonderful opportunities when they graduate. I wish all students had this chance.
When considering Oxbridge, Cambridge is much more "Old Money" than Oxford. Magdalene Cambridge, alone, has 9 of the 19 Dukes. I recall when I first went up to Caius from Australia I was chatting to a young man who asked offhandedly, what I had done in the orientation week. I said "I went punting" which he misheard. He thought I said "I went hunting". Suddenly he was highly interested, and asked which hunt it was, and who was leading it. I had to disappoint him!
Yes! It really is. If you talk to older British generations they automatically assume that Cambridge is more elite because it always has been. Oxford has simply pumped a lot of money into its branding and rankings in recent years.
The list is awesome, however, we need to quote Yale as a important old money university. And just a observation, here in Brazil, we have a important university for the region. University of São Paulo. 8 brazilians presidents came from USP.
Actually where I live, it’s more important where you go to high school than college. High school says where you live, background, social status. College is more random unless you are a legacy. If someone in New Orleans asks where you went to school, they mean high school. That tells them everything about who you are.
If a young person w no money, unless exceptional or gets their foot in any door. Especially in the teens. Without an introduction to the other side, no chance. None. My good childhood friend. W Who was a poor Immigrant. The family KILLED IT, in real estate as a family. I was a tag along for a bit, but was shaken off. I have done ok. A bit of wisdom, if you are young. Do Not,, Not Awnser the phone, and do not text old people, it doesn't help you.
Maybe you should get out more. Anywhere else in the world wouldn't care, especially if one didn't go beyond basic university education. Even an undergrad / Bachelor's isn't noteworthy enough, as that's considered the bare minimum.
My very middle class American daughter went to Cambridge because, at the time (2007) tuition was only 9000 pounds (about 13,000 US) for international students while US tuition at places like Harvard was about $ 31,000. And, for her major, only 3 years of university. Just an enormous savings over US schools. Also, she wasn't fond of the whole sports obsession at many US schools and focus on all your extracurriculars for admission. Applying in the UK is extremely simple- one application for 5 or 6 universities. Quite simple, took her about one afternoon to do it. Don't think she met too many rich kids, mostly middle class kids like herself. But, very smart and interesting so she was pretty glad she went and I appreciated the huge savings. Oh and I worked with a "To-dai" grad (University of Tokyo) in Japan for six years when I worked for a Japanese company in Tokyo. He was off the charts smart. The entrance exams to get in require going to cram school from middle school onward. If you don't do well on the entrance exams, you aren't going to get in. Period. So all of the graduates are pretty smart- more like MIT than Harvard (MIT has no legacy admissions and never had minority quotas either).
@@ooievaar6756I’m an expat in the NL learning Dutch, and I completely agree. I declined the 30% ruling in disgust at how the Dutch government can give such a huge benefit to outsiders over its people. I wanted to buy a 400m brownstone and break it up to add four more apartments to the market. The government will let me buy a giant and unnecessary house for myself, but I’m not allowed to put more apartments on the market for the Dutch people. With all of the rules favoring tenants, combined with rent caps and asinine taxes, it’s not like it’s a profitable venture. It’s simply something I’m capable of doing to help a little, yet the Dutch government says no. Asinine. I often talk to my wife about how ridiculous the taxes are. Ethnic Dutch created a system to support themselves, and now the government gives all of the money to outsiders. Losing 50%+ of your income and receiving virtually nothing for it at all. Healthcare is still €200-500mo. The care itself is terrifying. Public transit still costs money. Wtf are the taxes paying for?? It was cheaper for me to live in Manhattan. Paid the same amounts but very little in taxes comparatively. I’m ecstatic to see that Geert was elected. Much like Trump in the US, I’m hoping that he can form a coalition so that the cabinet can hopefully start removing anyone who doesn’t want to contribute to DUTCH culture. I believe that ALL ethnic Europeans need to stand together in these times, to save our respective cultures and peoples.
@@ooievaar6756like yourself, we all from other European Union countries pay for Dutch students into our universities and Erasmus as well…so, we’re even, darling!
it's more about networking and skills than the gained knowlegde per se. You can literally learn software development from RUclips. Any language from the internet. Humanities via different sources. But what makes a univeristy degree special is that it shows that you cared enough to show up, attend, and sign in required stuff over and over again over a period of 3~5 years. That's why university degrees still hold value. If you have those qualities anyways without a degree, the company might ofc choose you, but the advantage of having a degree is that you have sth to immediately show the company that you have those qualities.
In the US, the "old money" schools are sometimes not universally known. Many people have probably never heard of Williams College or Hamilton College, but it is guaranteed that everyone in Greenwich or Darien, CT or Deerfield Academy has. In Canada, as I understand it, which HS one attends is most important. This is probably the case in many countries as the leading universities aren't necessarily elitist.
Infact it's mostly vice versa as most of the real eminent and successful people in all the areas of society come from the very humble background. First generation of most of the old money, ultrarich and powerful families had an humble upbringing and many don't even afford to have proper education and inturn they were the one's who made the remarkable achievements in their life and climbed the maximum height overcoming all the hurdles and adversities in their path and left the mark which their upcoming generation simply inherited be it John D. Rockefeller or Henry Ford or Andrew Carnegie or Winston Churchill and the list is long. Their off springs mainly carry surname and the inherited wealth.
Yale ranks 8 now in the US for the Class of 2027 for the Ivys.... Duke is not in the "Top 10" , Stanford & MIT is not Ivy either even tho they high rank schools
A good list which could have been enlarged to include Stanford and Yale. It is interesting that no German Universities were included which reflects two things: first education in Germany is more egalitarian than it used to be and where you work and how you live has more to do with family background and connections than which university you attended and second, the decline in standards at even the best universities there. For example in the 1930's Oppenheimer chose to do his PhD at Göttingen University rather than Harvard or Cambridge which he also attended since Göttingen at that time was the leading university for physics in the whole world. No more.
You failed.....to add Eton College. Taylor of Old Bond Street even makes a shave cream dedicated to the same school our future King attended. Eton College is quite all that.
I don't have the money at the moment, but my descendants will. I am picking Harvard, not because I am an American; but for two reasons. First it's rated number one globally, second it's close to home.
Where is Stanford on the list? Stanford has contributed the most to the advancement of the world over the last 50 years. In today's world, Stanford is way ahead of the Ivies and Oxbridge.
The amount of money you have is basically irrelevant. You can't buy your child a place in these institutions with money alone unless you pay like $20 million.
no but you can cross register with Harvard for the humanities...daughter got accepted at both, also declined CalTech, but wound up going to UPenn for undergrad /she was dual degree....more suited for what she wanted & was interested in
3:15 “The admission process is stringent”. Two words: “Affirmative Action”. For the sake of diversity, schools such as Harvard would rather let in minorities despite inferior qualifications over more deserving but “over represented” Asians.
Could it be that those minorities were admitted due to good grades or only because of AA? Also, aren’t Asians minorities too? What about students admitted because of legacy?
I went to normal schools until i went to military schools in service. Coming from a family of warriors, i know what the real world is like. I have known many millionaires and/or intelligent people who have not finished high schools or have not gone to college. In the eating scene, the one guy didn't know how to hold his fork properly, poor etiquette.
Because William wasn't very bright, as we know, to study at Cambridge or Oxford, and Kate Middleton stalked him to Saint Andrew!! She then signed up for every class and activity William took!
Seriously, this is a silly video with its fake English accent moderator. The children of the elite White upper class are not going to socialize and network with students from middle class and working class backgrounds, especially minority students. Also, the cost of these “elite” universities filters out people from lower economic class, thus maintaining the White dominated class structure. Merit has nothing to do with this considering how many “legacy” students they admit. Save your money, your kid’s mental health and your kid’s self esteem and send your kid to a top notch public university instead.

10:34 University of Tokyo has a 35% acceptance rate which is pretty high meaning it’s easy to get in. Princeton has a 4.4% acceptance rate
I went to Princeton when I failed to get into Eton College....I did alright even so.
Princeton rate is because Americans can apply to as many US universities
Best international regarded UK universities of rich are at Oxbridge, Imperial, LSE and Edinburgh
The footage for University College London seems to all be of other London educational institutions.

Stanford, not on this list, would be where I’d want my kid to go. I’d like them to continue the family legacy into the fourth generation.
Fourth generation? I wish your family the best for continuing that tradition then😃
If i was a 3rd generation Stanford graduate, I would find a way to boast about it as well.😂 well done. Wish your kid all the best.

Stanford should be on this list too
Faber College deserves a honorable mention...
You have to pick the right frat there.
Just remember to stay off double secret probation.
Columbia University is not included in this list despite being an excellent Ivy League. For my children Harvard and Columbia Are two choices.
Am sure if the list was top 10 or 15 then Columbia would be in there definitely

Try Oxford or Cambridge instead…and stay in Europe after graduating, be smart.
I would love to study at university.
Yale didn't make the list 😮
Never mind my children. I'd like to be able go to one of these. Zurich or Oxford would be my choice.
Oxbridge + HYPSM + one school from continental Europe (eg. ENS, ETH)
Just my 2 cents.
UC Berkeley and UCLA are much tougher to get into than Oxford and Cambridge.
Where is Stanford on the list? Stanford has contributed the most to the advancement of the world over the last 50 years. In today's world, Stanford is way ahead of the Ivies and Oxbridge.
