<p>Not necessarily. But I fail to see how two things (in this case schools) can be “somewhat on par with one another” while at the same time the claim is being made that</p>

<p>I just don’t see it. At the same time, I don’t see my school (Wesleyan) being “significantly better” than Emory or Vanderbilt, nor do I feel much need to compare them, especially when the statistics of top schools are so similar anyways. I think others are getting it right when they say that the schools are peers, one has similar opportunities, and pick should be based on fit. Be happy with where you are and don’t look down on the Emory kids just because their school offers an easy way to transfer in and get their degree. Remember that Harvard, Columbia, and the rest of the big boys do the same thing under a different name.</p>
