College and University Discussion
Hey…again, you are the one bragging about how stupid you are. Good for you. At least you own it. |
I don't look for internet points by a random guy online knowing I'm smart. Maybe you'd be a better Wharton Alum if you followed suit. I'm not going to kowtow, begging you to know my credentials and background to appease you, but, sure, I'm stupid-that just makes me more concerned as to what the hell that makes you. |
Always hate arguing with these people, because it is never enough. You can be a subject expert but they will scream liar and bot the second you bring up something they don't know/don't understand |
Exactly, person doesn’t know relevant current facts, but somehow the fact they don’t know it is in no way a reflection on them. |
And Elon’s son currently attends Brown studying Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Economics, and Anthropology, among others. He engages in theoretical research and is scheduled to graduate in 2026. Musk is pouring a lot of $ there. https://www.providencejournal.com/story/news/local/2022/06/23/elon-musk-rocket-sbudnic-satellite-brown-university-students-onboard/7650738001/ |
Are you always this braggadocious? |
Yes, that is the topic of the thread. And which of those schools did your muskrat attend? Are you sure you know what the P stands for? Poor guessing on your part. Tant pis. |
Strange he didn't go to his father's alma mater. |
| Why is some idiot from Penn clogging up a thread on HYP. Some people should take extensions of those business etiquette courses and learn to just stfu when it isn't your turn at the table. |
This poster had it correct. |
| When I went to Brown some of the wealthier kids had more straightlaced older siblings at Harvard and/or nerdier friends at Yale, but we related much more to peers at Wesleyan, Oberlin or Vassar. There was a lot of traveling to NYC on weekends and being impressed by the worldiness of NYU Tisch students. People were mostly at Brown because they were a particular kind of smart kid for whom it was their first choice. But this was during Brown’s hipster era. I feel like it’s much more conventionally “ivy” now. |
It's much the same. Those are even back up schools for Brown, other than Vassar-it's gotten weird over there. |
DP. What do people bet this is the same poster trying to look like he has consensus? (Normally, I'd say "she" as default for Urbanmoms, but this kind of dog/bone posturing smacks of dude energy). No one else is invested in your grandstanding, dude. |
Mine is there now, and I'd say it still attracts a particular kind of cross-disciplined smart kid (some blend of arts or service or advocacy with STEM, humanities, or entrepreneurship). The academic rigor and achievement required to get in has ratcheted up I'd suspect, just because more applying and FA is much better for mid/lower class than it used to be. First choice for mine and friend group (as far as I know). All (these friends) are very happy. One friend transferred from HYP. |
So less elite than Harvard and Yale. Undergraduate business degrees are not relevant to the conversation. True elites are study the liberal arts in college not marketing or real estate. |
