<p>ani, I know what you are trying to say and I am just playing devil’s advocate. </p>
<p>Again, I disagree. It is arguable that at places like Penn State, you get to meet people from all walks of life - children of garbage collectors, postmen, lawyers, top notch athletes, actors, doctors/you name it while at Cornell/Harvard/Princeton … most people you encounter are those born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Yes, there will be token presence of Hispanics, African American and internationals. This is not an eclectic mix. </p>
<p>For me, what is important is a peer group that is better prepared and highly motivated. You can find this at most top tier schools including Penn State.</p>
