<p>“Harvard - Louis Vuitton (Everyone know’s it and it’s the top status symbol & it is super exclusive)
Yale - Gucci (Just as good as LV but missing that umph)
Princeton - Chanel (Sophisticated)
MIT -Salvatore Ferragamo (Missing that sparkle, but it’s still cute)
Stanford - Jimmy Choo (Well known for its sexiness)
Columbia - Prada (Just as good as Gucci but less)
NYU - Miu Miu (Prada’s little sister)
Brown - Alexander McQueen (Unique and creative)
Cornell - Christian Louboutin (Sexy yet classy)”</p>
<p>^I don’t agree with this. LV may be good at bags, but not so much with their shoes.
You see their newest ones? God.</p>
<p>And Porsche IS rather show-offy. Lamborghini is way better than Ferrari - way more muscly, more masculine.</p>
<p>^^ Which one is Philip Glass?</p>
<p>I really need to make an excited/interested face</p>
<p>for future reference, this is it %D</p>
<p>If you did rappers, you need to put Jay-Z on there.</p>
<p>I’ll do the NFL</p>
<p>H: Cowboys, the high profile, great talent,
Y: Steelers, not as high profile, excellent talent
P: Patriots, Snobby, Uppity, yet quality team
S: Colts, Doing it big time, Consistently great
M/Caltech: Giants, work their ass off and have become respectable.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’d switch the first two.</p>
<p>I find it interesting you all hold Harvard on a higher pedestal than Yale. I hope you know Harvard is where you go to gt an easy A(if well prepared;pop. opinion)</p>
<p>lol, If we’re getting into the rap part, lol, Lil Wayne is some garbage. Really can’t rap.</p>
<p>I’ve taken shots at Harvard with my analogies.</p>
<p>What’s your problem with Yale guys? Better college system, less annoying Bostonians, killer arts, More seems to be going on there than at HArvard where it seems people more rest on their laurels.</p>
<p>^^^That’s what everyone outside thinks, but everyone from Harvard tells you “No, you get an easy B. You have to work for an A.” <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>I meant to say taken shots at Harvard, my apologies. I love Yale. A lot closer to where my Aunt stays,(well she stayed by both harvard and MIT). She now stays less than 30 minutes from yale.</p>
<p>My only real problem with H is its proximity to Boston, I <3 Cambridge, but B-town…ehhh :{</p>
<p>^you guys are really hijacking the thread. ;)</p>
<p>I have a habit of that…sorry</p>
<p>Hmm I’ll do…Sports:</p>
<p>Harvard:Soccer(Americans have a ove hate for t :/)
Yale:Lacrosse(Finesse, underappreciated)
Princeton:Football(cocky)
Williams:Rugby(tough yet seems to attract smart people)
Amherst:annoyingball >p
Hampshire(not top but hey): Ultimate Frisbee(alternative)</p>
<p>@ CPA.</p>
<p>MIT could also be Phillip Glass, in the whole “going more mainstream” respect. That especially works if we are considering the whole minimalism = sciencey schools idea.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No. Because he went there but also because he fits into the whole rich upper class privileged white guy stereotype.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Read his This Side of Paradise it really emphasizes that part of him.</p>
<p>@MonochromeAddict LV may not have the best shoe’s but it’s the most well known, and exclusive. That’s why I mainly put it there.</p>
<p>^Is it really? It seems to me that the likes of Prada, Jimmy Choo and Louboutins are the most known shoe brands, considering what’s discussed online, what receives articles in mags, and what is mentioned in mass media. The price point of LV alone would seem to place it outside of the most exclusive range.</p>
<p>^LV doesn’t have the best shoe’s who can’t agree with that. But like Harvard it has the name. And LV is hard to find in department stores like Prada and Jimmy Choo. They only sell at their boutique’s.</p>
<p>what about manolo blahnik?</p>
<p>^^Words aren’t pluralized with apostrophes.
LV is sold in department stores like Saks. Its boutique-based exclusivity – half because stores won’t go along with its refusal to go on sale – has spread to its handbags, but not to its rarely discussed and thus not sought-after shoes. So long as LV offers most of its line online, price point is a better signal of exclusivity than in-store availability, as cost actually excludes people while inability to find a shoe in a store does not.
As LV’s shoes are so rarely discussed while Loubs and Choos are nearly the birkins of the shoe world, they lack the nominal primacy of Harvard.</p>
<p>^We’re gotten a bit stuck in France I guess. Blahniks are huge, and, again, have a higher price point than LV.</p>
<p>ETA: Price point also indicates what a brand can get people to pay. Since LV has a relatively low price point for shoes, in comparison to both what else it offers (eg: Purses) and shoes of similar brands, it can be deduced that people simply aren’t as interested in what the house has to offer for their feet. Lower demand, as suggested by the lower cost, indicates less of a reputation.</p>
<p>I always think Harvard is the best school like Superman is the best superhero. It just has the most power and biggest name but is kinda hard to relate to. Batman would probably be MIT, Mt. Holyoke is Wonder Woman, West Point is Captain America.</p>
<p>When Tufts visited my school, they were maybe a Superboy? Like, not as heard of as Superman but still the name rings a bell, like maybe you heard some geek friend talking about Superboy the other day. Also a bit like Superman only not really. Poor Superboy…and even though I like Superboy, Tuft is a meh school to me. All the mutants = different art schools. Cause you have to be different and even a bit freaky but talented (or not so much like Maggot). Like, Cyclops would be Pratt somewhere very artsy and prestigious. I also imagine UT as Ironman and A&M as the Hulk.</p>
<p>I guess, I thought of my school as a Spiderman, that nerd who somehow got an actress girlfriend that is Carnegie Mellon. But it doesn’t fit in with the engineer/computer science so I say the Oracle.</p>
