“I thought “Tuft’s Syndrome” was when a student attends a great but lower ranked school (say Tufts) but had wanted to go to a more prestigious school (say an ivy league) where they were rejected. The syndrome is the bitterness/regret one has about not being able to go to the more prestigious first choice school, and having those negative feelings turn into an inferiority complex.”

Just to address this comment (I saw your EDIT), but generally speaking, Georgetown kids are VERY happy with being at Georgetown. Never heard of anyone complaining of not being able to attend H/P/Y (though I’m sure there are a few out there), in fact, I hear tons of ppl saying that they choose Gtown over some of the lower Ivies (will remain unnamed)…
