<p>well, I looked through the entire thread. You commented on admission rates and applicant numbers multiple times, commented on the drinking at Wake, and commented on the academic rating. Admission rates (as I have said) are not comparable between these two schools, mainly because of location, dd2014 addressed the instances of drinking on the two campuses (and pointed out that, despite Gtown’s lack of greek life, were more numerous at Gtown than at Wake), and the academic ratings have already been proven to be suspect. Where exactly are these “facts and data”?</p>
<p>Furthermore, this entire argument is absurd; prestige is not something measurable, but rather a “widespread respect and admiration felt for someone or something on the basis of a perception of their achievements or quality”. Prestige is in the eyes of the beholder, and no intelligent person can reasonably say that " (insert school) is more prestige than (insert second school) at any level"</p>
