Considering this week’s testimony, being president has only the ILLUSION of prestige.

FWIW I have a relative who attended Emory in undergrad (now employed as a physician). She did not realize, in her forties, that Spain was not an actor in World War 2.

What's more prestigious, being President of the US making $400k or being a Senior Associate in your 20s at a Private Equity firm making $400k?


Meh, who cares about another Washington politician?


Everyone does. Wealthy guys are dime a dozen.

Scratch Northwestern.

Duke is on the bubble.

Agree. Although I wouldn't include Duke cause I hate the Blue Devils. Laettner sucks!


+1 Duke being a good school is so annoying, just pick 1 thing and be good at it! Sports or academics, not both!


Stanford is the same though so we just have to get used to it I guess.


Except Stanford academics > Duke.

I agree with the sentiment, but you can't deny being President is prestigious. Don't care about random congresspeople and senators.

Looks like you took the bait. It's pretty obvious the only reason for PP's list was to exclude Columbia. Because no one in their right mind thinks Penn, Brown or Dartmouth is more "prestigious."

OP is the same OP that posts re: rankings and apples and oranges comparisons in the College forum.

In other words, OP is a predictable troll who needs to get busy at work, lest someone report him.
