[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The constant comparing on DCUM makes me question why I keep coming back here.  It's boorish. And tiresome. [/quote]

100%

This place is full of people who have many opinions, most of which are wildly incorrect. It is inhabited by incredibly insecure people desperate for 'prestige' in the belief that without it a kid is doomed. They also fail to understand that the main driver for rejection to one of these prized piggies is scarcity not a lack of ability. It is like a slow motion trainwreck.[/quote]

Yeah, I would like to meet some of these people in person because I can’t think of anyone I know that thinks or talks like the people here.[/quote]

I do know a Cornell engineering mom that is exactly insecure like this.  "CALS is a state school." "Cornell engineering is the best among ivies."  All CALS moms stay away from her.  Sad.[/quote]

Huh? CALS *is* a state school and Cornell engineering *is* the best in the IL. How is stating those facts “insecure”? DP.

Troll.

As long as we are okay “stating the facts”, Cornell engineering is far below CMU and UIUC.  [b]Kids who don’t get in good engineering programs go to Cornell.  Purdue level. [/b]

Truth hurts?[/quote]

Purdue is a good engineering program. Your view of the truth is extremely warped.[/quote]

It's not about disparaging Cornell engineering.  It's just stating the facts.  Purdue of course is a good program.  Aerospace engineering there, for example, is top notch.

[b]Which "state school" charges in-state resident 44K?  Tell me.  That's about what UC charges OOS[/b]![/quote]

Come again? UCLA charges $43K for in-state and $80K for OOS.
