[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Legacy is HUGE.[/quote]

Not always. Plenty of selective schools barely consider it. And I know plenty of qualified legacies who didn't get in. [/quote]

+1. I think it's in Price of Admission where an Ivy admissions officer sniffed to the writer, "[b]If they took our education, became a teacher with it, and so they weren't in a position to donate money[/b], then that doesn't speak well for that gene pool and we probably won't take the kid." Or something like that, in any case I'm paraphrasing. Ouch.[/quote]

wait, what happened to all the rah rah about how Ivies tell their students to do something noble with their education?  Someones lying here - and I'm not saying it's the PP.[/quote]

Someone's nuts, and I think it's you. Teachers are certainly noble in my book, but I can think of lots of professions that are noble and earn major money. For starters, Zuckerberg, Gates, and anybody who every invented something marketable or was highly successful in one of the arts.[/quote]

Ummmmm.... Technology=science not the arts.

And noble is noble. What does being a moneymaker have to do with it?

New Poster who finds you to be the one who's nuts[/quote]

Ummmmm........ Stop using stupid expressions like "ummmmmm......" because you sound inarticulate. It doesn't help our impression of you, that you missed the point about these guys making *inventions* not STEM per se. And you conflated Zuckerberg and the point about the arts because you missed that little word "or", as in "or... in one of the arts."

Otherwise, you're doing great![/quote]

You continue to sound like an idiot.

A noble profession is a noble profession, but it's clear you have nothing of substance to add to this thread so you should really just leave.

Go play. Adults are conversing here.[/quote]
