<p>PG I don’t understand your reaction. I agree with you that failure to be admitted to HYPSM won’t ruin your life and that you are not doomed if you don’t get admitted. I don’t think I ever said or implied that. I was trying to say that there are very valid reasons for attending these schools and that these schools do in fact have an advantage in a worldwide marketplace. These valid reasons seemed to get dismissed with comments like impressing Joe the dryer cleaner. Again I simply don’t get where you are coming from because I think you already agreed that these schools have this advantage.</p>
