[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is true. There are some schools that are elite enough that you can use that brand to your advantage when you leave (Harvard) but the reality is, all those rigorous application processes do is allow the schools to discriminate in favor of the genteel, inbred elites, while letting a few plebeians in who know their place: to increase test scores, to feel inferior to the rich kids, and, to one day be the brainpower behind (but never the leadership of) major institutions in this country.

. I know, I know, you will say, but look at Mr. Free Lunch Program, he is a CEO. But the dirty secret of these universities is he would have been just as successful at a state u as an elite one, because that kind of drive is unstoppable. He used them and they used him to keep the myth alive that elite Universities are worth it for the kind of people who need to take out college loans.

+1 billion.

And it's not even the 'super rich', it's also for rich-enough. We have relatives like that, their kids are dumb as rocks with degrees from Crappy Us. Set for life with trust funds and cushy jobs at Uncle Jason's and Uncle Robert's firms.[/quote]
