[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You never have to explain how smart you are if you went to an elite Ivy. There are some just as smart kids at UMD, but they will have to prove it to people.[/quote]

Plenty of Ivy grads like to explain how smart they are, trust me.[/quote]
This is 'beside' the point the poster made.

You missed the point. It went over your head.[/quote]

Really? I don't think she missed the point at all. In fact, I think she nailed it quite succinctly. [/quote]
It was missed . The point being that an ivy degree means not having to prove yourself or your intellect. It's assumed.

A non-ivy may be just as smart but his intelligence will not be assumed. He will have to prove it .

She replied with snark about how ivy grads like to boast of their intelligence. Not true. They don't have to.[/quote]

And clearly the snark went over your head because here you are, "explaining" to us.  It seems you're trying to "prove" your intelligence?   :D[/quote]

Your response makes absolutely no sense. Obviously, you are not an ivy grad. Obviously.[/quote]
