I'm not Dook fan but if you are indeed that old you should know the lacrosse team didn't do it. I'd be more worried about lax bros as UVA where one actually killed his girlfriend than from Dook.

This. Been there. What year was this? So much of the college admissions staff is full of young, out of touch, privileged people. Infuriating.

Yes, let's start the day by trashing where literal teenagers go to pursue their educations and have fun, and start the list off by listing Michigan, which this board loves to pile on constantly, presumably because it's harder to get into every year despite being *public*. Get a life.

Brown. Used to think of it as a place for trust fund kids. Now think of it as the ultimate UMC striver school.

I realize these aren’t necessarily fair estimations, just being honest

Ahhh! We found the infamous Brown troll. lol

It's awful to want lucrative career opportunities right out of college?

Get a grip. These literal teenagers should be able to deal with people having thoughts and opinions about things.
