<p>Not necessarily, the few number of students who would do that are not lowering your chances of being accepted by much, it is very slim. Besides I don’t feel that many students are concerned with “bragging about being accepted.” I’m sure some idiots do indeed so that, but most have bigger things on their mind at this very important stage of their life. </p>

<p>I don’t see how you make the correlation between prestigious university to a lot of money. Going to a good school makes it easier to get a prestigious entry-level position, but a few years down the line it’s all about experience, nobody cares about where you went to school 10 years down the line. There are a lot of factors that make for a successful career, such as hard knock, people skills, relationships, connections, etc… Going to a prestigious school does not guarantee you will be “rolling in the dough” 10 years down the line, it’s all about what you do, and how good you are at doing it."</p>
