[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This one is going to be total fodder for this crowd but ... not even applying to Harvard or any Ivy when I was graduating high school. I would have gotten in (high stats, from a rural area in the South, plus it was the 90s) but refused to even try because I thought it was too elitist. I don't think my career was ultimately harmed, but I didn't have a great college experience and find myself wishing i got to have that sort of college experience.[/quote]

Same. I was valedictorian at a high school in the South, in the 80s, with 99%ile SAT score. Neither my parents nor the guidance counselor had a clue (University of Georgia was kind of the pinnacle where I was from) and I went to a school that sent me a brochure in the mail and offered me a scholarship (and got me far, far from Georgia, which I don't regret). My life turned out well, but [b]living in a place where so many people make assumptions about you based on where you went to school can be hard.[/b] I try not to have a chip on my shoulder about it.[/quote]

Going to college at an Ivy in the 80s/90s where so many people would have made assumptions about you based on where you grew up, would have been hard, too. [/quote]
