[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been on these boards for a bit and my hypothesis is that what really bothers people about LACs is that they are a bit outside the standard ranking system. The hierarchy (in their minds) is supposed be clear: HSYMP> Cornell/Columbia > Vandy/Emory, etc. but Williams or Swat etc. doesn’t fit tidily anywhere in there. I think to people who care a lot about sharply defined hierarchy, these schools feel like a workaround, like some sort of cheat. But whatever. Who cares. Someday we’re all going to be corpses, every last one of us, and sometime after that the earth will crash into the sun, after that the sun will cool into a white dwarf, and no one will remember anything about our having been here. Just live your lives, people. Enjoy them. Think cool thoughts, listen to great music. Read a line of poetry, pet a dog, maybe dance a bit. We are but a blip. [/quote] Nice. Our eccentricity is their thorn![/quote]
