[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing I notice more often is how many Ivy-obsessed people didn't go to an Ivy. Could also substitute Harvard for Ivy in that sentence. Probably more people think "my life would have been different if only...." than think "I am where/who I am because of my college." Or maybe it just stands out more to me because I see elite obsession as more irrational than anti-elitism.[/quote] Marissa Mayer and Sheryl Sandberg were both hyper-aggressive 4.0 GPA involved-in-everything, president-of-every-club pushy high schools kids who ended up at Harvard and Stanford. Their [i]obsession[/i] paid off, handsomely. And of course they can't claim it publicly, but both are elitist snobs who surrounded themselves with elite lettered colleagues.[/quote]
