[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are only more prestigious for the unwashed masses. The people who are in the know would be more impressed by AWS undergrads with the appropriately distinguished graduate degree (varies with subject matter).[/quote]

No, the only unwashed mass is you. Anyone who actually knows what these schools against HYPSM looks like knows there is no comparison. You think a school with a 17% admit rate, 45% yield (inflated by filling half the class with ED), and that only ranks 17th for test scores nationally is comparable to HYPSM or even other lower ranked universities with higher profiles? No research facilities, world class professors, a limited course selection in rural MA with only 2000 undergrads means as robust of an experience? Yeah, keep telling yourself that lie if it'll help you sleep at night. The leagues of insecurity by LAC grads- especially the immature ones who use terms like AWS or whatever to feel good about themselves- is inane. And unlike HYPSM who clearly are a league above other schools by most factors, AWS aren't even better than other some other LACs as measured by the aformentioned and other institutional factors. Look to your surroundings first before looking to the clouds that your alma mater is nowhere near. [/quote]

Who's the immature one?  One who uses "HYPSM" but puts down someone who uses "AWS"?  You seem to like putting others down to feel better about yourself.[/quote]
