Uhh, maybe the world is a little bit bigger than NYC (are you upper west or upper east??) and that relative degrees of prestige vary as you move around the USA. If you think that the Ivies “destroy” Rice in prestige, then you are probably right if you are talking about NYC/the Northeast and applicants from that neck of the woods.

<p>Not just my “neck of the woods”…</p>

<p>THE-QS World University Rankings: Rice = #100</p>

Your crusade to demonstrate your intellectual superiority reminds me of the Dr. Seuss story, “The Big Brag.” Ever read it or did anyone ever read it to you? It’s a children’s book, but you could definitely learn a little something from it.

<p>By “Dr. Seuss,” do you mean Theodor Seuss Geisel, Dartmouth Class of 1925?</p>
