LAPD Airship said:Ummmm, Duke is not Ivy League
Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Darmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yale....for those of you that don't know
...
Ivy league university's open doors in the social circles of business, but that is about it. They also let you get into more prestigious graduate schools which is where the school name really matters.
PS,
I do believe that the original poster wrote, "To the professional pilots out there who got their undergraduate degrees (aviation or not aviation-related) from Ivy Leage schools or big-name schools like Stanford, Duke, UC-Berkeley, you name it, did that (if ever) influence in advancing your career?"
I do believe that your second statement that I quote is generally correct. It isn't necessarily the education but the networking that is valuable.
Congratulations on being a 1L at NYU. Its a great law school. Are you on PLOA? One of my best friends is a 3L at NYU and if you'd like to talk to him (although I'm sure you have a network by now), I'm sure he'd be more than happy to discuss his job hunting experiences with you, etc.
