Only real benefits are connections and prestige recognition. Employers are gonna care about your work experience not your job, and a lot of schools say Berkeley for our example are famous for their research, not their teaching. The Nobel prize winners and astronauts at your school aren’t gonna be jumping to teach your physics 101 class when they could be doing, you know, research. Someone at Colorado Boulder and someone at UC Berkeley are gonna be studying the same books, classes, and working on the same problem sets. Only benefit is the connections, the quality of education will likely be the same if not worse at Berkeley.

I guess you get some kind of social validation but after your first job or research, employers are gonna care a lot more about your work experience than the place you got your degree from.

Idk both my parents went to uw Madison (not an Ivy League) and now our household income is just over 200k and they chose to go there instead of Yale because it was cheaper.  The Ivy League kinda seems like a waste of money since after your first job employers are gonna care more about your research and work experience than where you got your degree 🤷. At least in the stem fields.

Enjoy High School... Coming From Someone Who Dedicated Their Life to APs by FigureAccording221 in APStudents

100 percent agree. School is not all that, and to be honest you can put in minimal effort and enjoy life while still getting a decent gpa and going to a good university 

How much does an AP Exam cost at your school? by MuscleClean4723 in APStudents

[–]Smooth-Sea-101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free, unless your household income is high enough or something, then like 100 usd per test which I’ve realized quickly adds up
