[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just make more colleges and universities at the same level? There's no reason to make schools so elite.[/quote] This statement, while likely made with very good intentions, is so ironic and illustrates the problem. There are many more "colleges and universities at the same level". Hundreds of them. But 1) despite that some are more just desired than others and 2) colleges that have "risen" in prestige are often bashed by many for their presumptuousness in this very forum. The "problem", people, is YOU. It's not self-evident, it's demand driven. This "problem" wouldn't exist if you didn't create it. [/quote] I agree. Too many parents, students and hiring managers are brand snobs and the current “in” Schools thrive on that. Is there really a difference between Duke, Penn, Northwestern, Yale, Rice or Vanderbilt? No. Yet there are rankings that swap one out for the other every year. [/quote]
