[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People often make the mistake of comparing person A with person B. The real question is for the same you, would you rather have a HYPSM on your resume or a regular uni? I think the answer is obvious.[/quote]

No, the real question is for the same you, would your life have turned out better with HYPSM on your resume? That’s often not obvious at all.[/quote]

How could you possible measure this? We don't get two chances at life, one at state U and the other at HYPSM.

I went to HYPSM and I am sure I got some opportunities based on my school, but as to where I'd be had I gone to a different school, I have no idea. How could I? [/quote]

You can’t, that’s why I said it’s not obvious whether things would have turned out better. But the fact that it is so uncertain tells you that it isn’t the end all be all.

Contrast that with the earlier comment where someone said to the poster making 7 figures, “well, imagine if you had gone to HYPSM, you would probably be making 8 figures.” But there’s no reason to assume it works that way.[/quote]
