Not getting into an ivy league = screwed for life?

<p>If you think this is bad now, just wait until you’re looking for a job.
Once you end up at Accenture, Morgan Joseph or some other generic un-prestigious company, they’re going to disown you and pressure you into changing your last name.
You’ll be an embarrassment to them at parties or in their weekly mah-jong games.
They’ll tell people you work in “consulting” or “finance” but then get extremely quiet as soon as people ask what company. </p>

<p>On a more serious note though, you’ll be fine.
As long as you can relax in interviews and appear relatively normal, despite the ridiculous amount of pressure your parents are putting on you, there’s no reason why you can’t get into an ivy league school.
If it doesn’t doesn’t happen, there are plenty of comparable schools that still have great job placement (duke, Georgetown, stern, …) If you keep working hard, you’ll be successful.</p>
