[quote=Anonymous]People judge top grads who have middle of the road careers (middle management). Expectations can be a little higher too but people who attended these schools usually have higher expectations of themselves. I know I do! Looking back, not experiencing much failure or negative feedback as privileged undergrad was a downside. It was initially hard to cope with failure with all the expectations after leaving school. It is strange how often in DC people end up talking about college and grad school even if they are 30-50. I attended a top college and T14 law school and end up being asked about them more here now than in the decade I lived elsewhere. In DC, there is no downside! [/quote]
