What do ELITE students think of lesser schools? [ElGreco]

Date: October 1st, 2004 3:02 AM Author: Appetizing Learning Disabled Theater Stage Genital Piercing Subject: My School: Northwestern HYPSMCColumbia: amazing
Penn: nobody here knows or cares much about it. Great school but possibly inflated perception as far as admissions are concerned.
Dartmouth, Brown: Not superior to NU academically, but certainly harder to get into. Basically, extremely elite schools whose identity stems largely from selectivity but not so much from academic excellence, which is no greater than Duke, NU, JHU.
Duke: Fine but not amazing--more selective than its quality would suggest.
Johns Hopkins; great but not spectacualar--certainly no better than NU in academic quality or selecivity.
Rice: Nobody knows much about it. Extremely selective school but one that may be a bit more selective than its reputation suggests. Personally, I love Rice and think it deserves to be considered alongside Duke, Cornell, etc.
Washu: Joke
Cornell: equal to NU but subject to an inflated repuation due to Ivy Status. Overall, it's nothing special compared to what we're used to.
I realize that none of these are lesser schools. We don't bother to inflate our egos by criticizing (even constructively) "lesser" schools. Who knows what "lesser" school is another applicant's dream? It wouldn't be fair.

Date: October 1st, 2004 8:28 AM Author: Filthy Purple Cuckoldry Marketing Idea That's pretty weird. You guys don't care about Uchicago?
I've never ever heard of people thinking Columbia was in the same tier as HYP outside of people from nyc who are wrong.
Outside of a few professions or situations, if you pay full price for an "elite" school, you're not going to neccessarily do better than going to a ttt. |
|
Date: October 1st, 2004 10:37 AM Author: Appetizing Learning Disabled Theater Stage Genital Piercing UChicago--excellent school, but we have such little overlap with them (even in applicants) that it's hard to make any judgment beyond that. Columbia isn't in the same tier as HYP, but I do think that its quality generally matches its selectivity, both of which are extremely high. As pointless as it sounds, I think that there's something to be said for an Ivy League school in Manhattan. It gives the school an edge that not many other colleges have.
In the end, it's not like we sit here talking about what we think of elite schools. Strangely, the topic actually came up last night between my friends and I for the first time since freshman year (I'm a senior now). |

Date: October 1st, 2004 10:41 AM Author: Appetizing Learning Disabled Theater Stage Genital Piercing I think that's probably true.

Date: October 1st, 2004 12:39 PM Author: Nofapping free-loading sanctuary goal in life I think it's really individual to be honest. Some people think state schools suck, some people think they are great. I've met a lot of people who have attended state schools and are here at Penn now and I have met a lot of people who are Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, MIT alums here too. It's really individual on what they think about other schools.
There is one guy here who is a Wharton MBA and did his undergrad at Yale and he lives, eats, sleeps Yale... and constantly compares Penn to Yale. It gets old pretty quickly... whereas another Yale alum I know here doesn't even bother with comparing them.
I think the one thing that I have opened some people to is the thought that one school is not perfect for everyone... and that there IS no ideal school for every person. I *never* would have come to Penn (or other elites) for undergrad because it wasn't going to offer me what I wanted. A lot of people see me as a smart person who went to a state school, which is very common. I would say there were a chunk of my friends who could have attended Penn or similar level schools.
Me personally, I never compare my experiences between Delaware and Penn. Delaware was perfect for undergrad and Penn perfect for Graduate school... you can't really compare the two in my mind.

|
Date: October 2nd, 2004 12:37 PM Author: Nofapping free-loading sanctuary goal in life You infer too much.
I think of those schools as the top tier and Penn as a choice among students who don't like/weren't admitted to those. Keep in mind this choice is not exclusive.
Frankly, unlike a lot of people on this board, I couldn't give a flying F*ck about what people think about Penn, Delaware or any other school to be honest.
All that matters is that people are happy where they are.

Clearly, since it isn't incredibly prestigious, merely a very good school, noone gives a crap about it. The fact that graduates from the vast majority of colleges, even literal TTT's (I'm talking third tier by the US News Standards) get good-paying jobs is a fluke of nature. Soon, the U.S. unemployment rate will be >95% and only graduates from the "elites" won't have to worry about living on the streets.

Date: October 3rd, 2004 3:53 PM Author: Excitant Cruise Ship Multi-billionaire Even you yourself has tried to differentiate them with:

Columbia college is different from SEAS. That is why PR has a separate entries for SEAS and the college for undergrad when you search for columbia. It is because it is that shitty. Notice how ALL the other Ivies don't have this shitty distinction of having their engineering schools separated. Also note: http://encarta.msn.com/college_article_tentoughestschools/the_most_competitive_admissions.html?GT1=5472
Columbia is stated as "Columbia University- COLUMBIA COLLEGE" none of the SEAS shit. |
|
Date: October 3rd, 2004 4:01 PM Author: Appetizing Learning Disabled Theater Stage Genital Piercing Just because the two colleges are "separated" within Columbia University doesn't mean that SEAS isn't as much a part of the university as is the College. Cornell also separates its engineering program into a separate college, but nobody denies that it is still a part of Cornell Unviersity, just like the College of Arts and Sciences. My school also separates its engineering program into a different "school," (one that also has a lower numerical ranking than our university as a whole), but nobody distinguishes them in a negative fashion from the rest of the student body (if anything, they are the most well-respected students in our school because of the difficulty of engineering).
From the point of view of an outsider, this whole argument is just a case of a little greed--elitism gone crazy, if you will. You have more prestige than most people can ever dream of, yet you wish for more, and you view the engineering program as a black mark on your institution, simply because it doesn't contribute to the top liberal arts curriculum in which you take so much pride. It seems like a major case of hair-splitting, and I really do hope that you all don't walk around debating this shit on campus for 4 years. That's a total waste. |

In otherwords, you lied on your Princeton app by willfully doing something you clearly knew was illegal. This puts you in a dangerous position. Careful-- tell me your name, and I will assure you that you will no longer be a student. Your opinions, feelings of "eliteness," and other by-products of your Princeton acceptance could very quickly change, and are in this case, false, as they lie on the shaky premise that you will not be discovered.

If I knew your name, you would not be attending Princeton today. Watch out-- don't fuck yourself again. Again, failing to refute ANY argument, I deem you as a piece of shit.

He committed an illegal act: one that violates the signing of the ED commitment. He left his applications in for other schools after being accepted ED-- a crime punishable by immediate revokation of enrollment. In otherwords, you lied on your Princeton app by willfully doing something you clearly knew was illegal. This puts you in a dangerous position. Careful-- tell me your name, and I will assure you that you will no longer be a student. Your opinions, feelings of "eliteness," and other by-products of your Princeton acceptance could very quickly change, and are in this case, false, as they lie on the shaky premise that you will not be discovered. Cheating and other devious acts are condemnable, and in this case, by the law.
