[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the other hand, people are getting a little tired of those with the advantages patting them on the head & saying “don’t worry about it—the advantage is way overrated.”[/quote]

Stop focusing on elite, highly rejective Universities and find the right fit outside T25 schools.  There are literally plenty of excellent schools, many that give good merit to top students.  
Someone will always "have it better than you" unless your last name is Bezos or Gates or Musk.  
But the notion that attending Harvard is going to give you some magical advantage is ridiculous.  Use your smarts (apparently you are so smart) and get a great education and do something with it.  That is what literally 99% of kids do---majority of successful people in life did not attend a T25 school, yet somehow are very successful.  If you focus on the end goal--getting an education and doing something with it, you will achieve great things.  If you focus on complaining that you didn't get into a T25 and "it's not fair" you might not go as far in life.  [/quote]
