<p>Gutrade is right! Yale and pretigious private professional schools (as opposed to graduate programs that actually concentrate on advancing knowledge) are IT! I wanna be like George W. Bush…with a degree from the all-mighty Yale University and an MBA from Harvard. Cause the lord himself said that “thy getting-eth into a prestigious MBA program requireth serious brain-power” (Corinthians 9:24). That makes George W. Bush an F’in genius!!! Like Gutrade!!! I wish I wasn’t paying state tuition, living in vibrant Berkeley in sunny California, getting a Chemistry degree from the #1 ranked Chemistry department in the country…but instead was at Yale with Gutrade, impressing naive people who believe that going to Yale makes ME smart and highly accomplished BY ASSOCIATION. And when i’m 38 years old, having accomplished nothing to benefit humanity or advance knowledge, and working for a smarter (or at least more accomplished) person who went to a state school or (god-forbid) a “lesser Ivy” or “Ivy-reject” school, at least I could look at my YALE degree framed in gold on the wall and touch myself. And when a dog barks at me on the streets I can say “HOW DARE YOU…I WENT TO YALE FOR GOD’S SAKE!!!” And when I’m IN Yale, being taught by profs and TAs, the MAJORITY of whom have at least one degree from a public instituion, I can scorn them if they disagree with my brilliant ideas because MY B.A. is gonna be from YALE. And when i’m in professional school, being taught by PhDs who have contributed to knowledge in my field, i’m gonna scorn them too…cause I’m a “professional-school” student. Big man on campus. And all the while i’m gonna post bitter remarks regarding public schools on public school forums such as this one because public school kids don’t give me the respect I DESERVE. I mean i’m paying private school tuition…I BOUGHT the prestige remember!!! So give me my money’s worth and respect me. Pleeease? Will you do it if I put on a Yale-mascot-bulldog puppy face?</p>
<p>I think what’s fair to say is that private schools like Yale are better than Berkeley at some things, and Berkeley is better than Yale at other things. We should not be afraid to admit that Yale does some things better than Berkeley does. At the same time, I think Gutrade would have to admit that Berkeley does some things better than Yale.</p>
<p>I think you folks should chill out. Last time I checked, Berkeley is pretty competetive with any school. </p>
<p>Maybe we should focus on grades, and not which is better or worse. Last time I checked, grades talk, even if you went to local uni 101.</p>
<p>Also, last time I checked, I do not like men in a sexual manner.</p>
