[quote=Anonymous]I get why people would ask about which schools attract recruiters from a specific industry or which schools place undergrads in top grad or professional programs or which schools are strong in a particular discipline or combination of disciplines. There’s a practical “can DC get there from here?” or “Does it have what DC is looking for?” component to those kinds of inquiries (and there are facts that can be pointed to to back up an answer). But these questions like “Are service academies prestigious?” and statements like “Bates is more prestigious than Oberlin” are baffling to me. Is it just a desire to start pissing matches that prompts the posters or is there some kind of there there? If the latter, what’s at stake/why does it matter/how could any answer beyond “depends on who you ask” be convincing?[/quote]
