<p>Jamie, you’re just being silly now. Making bombastic statements and ridiculous generalizations only diminishes your already weak credibility. However, there’s nothing to be gained by arguing with someone who simply makes statements of opinion as though they were assertions of fact. You’ll notice, if you bothered to read any of my prior comments that I think there’s nearly no qualitative difference in education from any of the top 15-20 schools. I even admitted that there may be SOME SLIGHT difference in perceived prestige between the two schools discussed here. However, the reason I take up your argument is that people like you do a great deal of harm to young impressionable college applicants who think these tiny differences in relative prestige matter in any way whatsoever - other than to people like you. A student will be MUCH happier (and therefore, more successful) at a school where they fit, rather than the school with a perceived higher prestige. The point I continue to make is that the relative difference here is so slight that it shouldn’t be the determining factor.</p>
