<p>I’m seconding Davnasca- you have no idea what the term prestigious means.
Here’s a thought to ponder: all of the HYP like schools are thought of being highly prestigious; the entire world knows of them. However, I think most can agree upon how high the grade inflation is there.</p>
<p>Difficulty of work does not equal prestige. It just means that you’re didn’t choose the “easier” path.</p>
<p>(For the record, I’m a future eng. major; personally I think a lot of the humanities majors are very “prestigious,” especially education majors.)</p>
