<p>I would say there are three disadvantages to an extremely elite college education:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>There’s usually no one there who will be dumber than you so you have to get used to not being all that special and that can be a bummer.</p></li>
<li><p>A lot of people who don’t attend such schools or whose kids don’t attend them will often have a tendency to notice any errors or mess-ups and then forever tell everyone willing to listen about the idiot from so-and-so elite school who was so dumb!!</p></li>
<li><p>A lot of people who don’t attend such schools will assume you’re a genius and although you’re pretty smart and occasionally even have genius moments, you’re also often pretty regular and so you might feel illegitimate or stressed if you don’t make millions of dollars or publish a national book award winner by the time you’re 30.</p></li>
