[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students at elite schools are charming, have non-stop motors, they're machines. Students at lower tier schools can be smart (but let's be honest, most aren't) but they lack "it" factor. Where you went to college is a badge. Of course there are successful people from every four year college, but it's not one alum that defines the school, it's the range of students. The entire bottom half of a Big State U is idiots, many of which graduate, which stigmatizes you even if you're the top 10%. As someone who transferred to an elite after a year at a top public U, I can say it is night and day. To the point I just laugh when folks say it doesn't matter, there are smart kids at every school, hype some pointless honors program, etc.[/quote] I'm guessing there wasn't a writing requirement at your "elite"...[/quote]
