[quote=Anonymous]Yes, attending a HYPSM school opened to me all the doors conceivable by humankind, and the unrivaled education and superior peers enlightened me in such a way that I am now worthy to become a leader of this nation and the global world beyond. Had I attended, god forbid, a lesser ivy like Columbia or Dartmouth, or worse yet, some random ivy-wannabe like UChicago or Duke, I would probably be a janitor at Taco Bell right now. Those inferior schools are filled with pathetically worthless students, and it would certainly have contaminated my pristine character and charisma that God gives to only a few.

Seriously, HYPSM is a term that is only used in these Internet forums and has no bearing in the real world. Your kid would receive the same level of education at any of the T20 or so schools, or perhaps an even better one if it's a top LAC. There is no tangible advantage for employment to attend these schools either, and some LACs even place better for professional and PhD programs. With the exception of maybe Harvard, attending a HYPSM school won't give you a leg up over other elite schools.

Each of the HYPSM schools are so different from each other that anyone applying to all five only care about prestige and would be willing to waste 4 transformative years of a very special time in life by attending an ill-fitting school. [/quote]
