<p>Oh good lord. I still keep up with my NU friends. I’ve got tons of friends and acquaintances from those kinds of schools. I have no bad experiences, but not everyone who goes to an elite school is the Greatest Person in the World. They’re just … people. Some are good, bad, indifferent.</p>

<p>Again, so competitive … why a spotlight? Spotlight for what?
Look, the kids going to D/NU/Penn/whatever already have the leg up because they have a network they can leverage that’s generally speaking better than the non-elite state flagships. Isn’t that enough? Why do you also need to be in the spotlight? Don’t you ever let your hard work, drive, enthusiasm, smarts speak for themselves, or do they always have to have a brand name attached to them?</p>
