I kind of resent this attitude that most if not all Ivy Leaguers turn into a bunch of soulless I-bankers. Honestly, the strong majority of students at Yale participate actively in community service, and many (probably most) summer programs run by Yale involve giving back to the world…everything from helping monitor elections in Africa to doing AIDS research to lobbying for environmental groups. And since when are doctors reinforcing the “machine?” They’re far from soulless…come on, they spend their lives working to save yours. Have some gratitude, please.
