[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NEU = Not Elite University [/quote] Not Elite University is a perfect name for them, because this outrageous quest to put them in pantheon of top schools in the country is nothing but insecurity. They love to say that their history has nothing to do with their prestige when prestige is largely based upon history, past accomplishments, and awareness of these things amongst the general public. Not Elite University doesn’t have the history, past accomplishments, or awareness of the public to claim much prestige. In fact, the general awareness of the school amongst those living today is reflective of their not so elite past. It has very little name recognition among the general public. And that’s the point of the boosting, to let us know how “great” it is today so that maybe some prestige will follow. But the continuous posting attacking straw men for being “rejected” actually helps to solidify in my view how weak and insecure this school is. [/quote]
