<p>“…needs to pick a fight”
Perhaps you are fighting. I am trying to help you.
You think there is some sort of unflaterring stereotype associated with being a Cornell student. People who actually want to go to Cornell think there is a flattering stereotype associated with being a Cornell student. You do not think highly of Cornell, or perceive others don’t, why would anyone subject themselves to a perception of being stereotyped in an unflattering manner?</p>
<p>Clearly Cornell is not the best fit for you.</p>
