Whatever it is, I doubt it is something that is easily fixed by the way I phrase things.

yeah, half the ivy's: brown, dartmouth, upenn and yale have more or less average physics departments. i guess this just shows that the recruiters who put "ivy" in their ads have no idea what they are doing.QuoteOriginally posted by: whaleit s only a statistical statement. and here "ivys" probably means ivy-equil, which include mit,berk,caltech,chicago, in the mean time the phd program in some ivys are not considered strong. I did meet people from UCLA. the phys. dept. of UIUC offers a finance minor so I imagine a lot of UIUC'ers out there. NYU is another example. UT Austin is also a very respected school, Georgia tech, duke, brown etc. but in any case S. IL. U. is a long shot.
