Universities are Universities. I don’t care where anyone goes. I only have a problem when people try to downplay the opportunities that are available at the highest tiers of universities. Prestige isn’t always the sole source of motivation to attend HYPSM. Similar reasoning can be used to explain people picking top 20 privates over their state flagships.

<p>There is a different kind of reasoning that exists. It is to [choose</a> state college](<a href=“Burt Rutan - Wikipedia”>Burt Rutan - Wikipedia) after you get into HYPSM.</p>

<p>It means you did serious homework.</p>

<p>It means you are confident that you can destroy anyone regardless of what their resume states… and you figured this out on your own when you were 12 years old.</p>
