[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the higher ranked USNWR schools have physically uglier and weaker students. Someone should do a survey. It would be easy to take random samples at a statistically relevant number then have the public rate unidentified photos.  Looks are equal or more important in life than almost anything and it would be good to be associated with an institution with higher ranked attractiveness.[/quote]

Unlikely, considering individuals who come from wealth tend to be more attractive and healthier (for obvious selection and socioeconomic reasons).

Sure, wealthy private universities known for party culture may have more attractive students than the Ivies, but certainly not true when comparing the Ivies to the average university. [/quote]

Places like JMU and U of South Carolina have better looking  people with healthier and more fertile bodies than the elite schools. Look at people like Hillary and Bill Gates or the tech billionaires. They are really unattractive and are pretty typical for the ivys. Personally I’d rather be decent looking with a healthy fertile body and go to JMU.[/quote]

You have to be a troll. Hillary was kind of hot at Yale, no cap.[/quote]
