microblaster and Hunt thanks for explaining how the system works, i get it now

Yep Hunt i just sat Math HL and Chem HL today... -_- nearly 5 and a half hours of examination in one day...

nj_azn_premed just because so many CEO's went to lesser known/ranked schools doesnt make the decision to go to those schools any better than the decision to aim for an ivy. And as for physicians who go to state/med schools , the fact is that the quality of medical education that you get from a state med school and an ivy med school is almost comparable and because of admissions selectivity and cost it doesn't seem worth it to the majority of aspiring doctors to attend an ivy med for the same education. And i'm sure "success" for quite a lot of people is defined as wealth + fame. Who doesn't want to work hard to get to the college they want so that they can be financially comfortable later on in life?
