[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, this is a question of whether the emperor is wearing any clothes or not. If you are facing disadvantages due to your ethnicity, sexual orientation, economic status, etc., then a higher ranked school may make a bigger difference in your life. But if you are an average upper-middle class student with status and connections in life, then the value of the advantage is more questionable. We're mammals. We have an instinct to ensure our children's survival. It's a powerful force. When everyone around you is acting like a T20 school is life or death, you figure you should act that way too. It takes mindfulness and figuring out your real priorities in life not to get carried along with the current. I was getting four hours of sleep a night in high school, and for what? I don't want that for my kids.[/quote]
