<p>Hehehe, this will probably spark some debate. Oh well!</p>
<p>Which is your favorite?</p>
<p>PHYSH</p>
<p>Princeton
Harvard
Yale
Stanford
Hogwarts</p>
<p>Can we just keep it at SYPH please?</p>
<p>Stanford is my favorite. It is best at a wide range of academic disciplines. Plus, for its relatively young age, Stanford has come to rival Harvard, or in fact, even surpass Harvard! I must admit, though, I like the environment of Harvard better. People find it surprising that I like the intellectual arrogant people more than the smart laid-back ones. I don't know why. Maybe I'm just elitist.</p>
<p>I'm not saying you are elitist, but I think your comments here are funny since your name is "iamtooperfect"</p>
<p>Seriously, I'm not insulting you, I was just making an observation. Then I chuckled. It was a jolly moment.</p>
<p>lol yeah. i asked a moderator if i could change my name cause my name rings with a tone of arrogance. but she said no i cant. but i must admit, i am somewhat egotistic. no lie there</p>
<p>Are you at Stanford now iamtooperfect?</p>
<p>i will be at stanford in the fall. i guess sometimes i feel inferior that im not going to harvard. but i should feel blessed right? i mean stanford is good too right?</p>
<p>Stanford's okay, but it's no Harvard. </p>
<p>Since the school one goes to directly reflects the intelligence and capacity of every single individual, I guess that means you're not that perfect after all, huh? Perhaps iamslightlysubpar would suffice. </p>
<p>(just kidding - get over yourself and grow up).</p>
<p>Columbia, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton, Stanford all the way!</p>
<p>(Screw CalTech... :D)</p>
<p>i still have time to grow up. but my username is a joke, just to give people laughs. there's no seriousness in it. i hope that i did not offend you.</p>
<p>but when you consider engineering and physics, stanford definitely beats harvard. in this case, harvard is no stanford. i see harvard as mostly a school for people interested in the humanities courses.</p>
<p>'Chimps' is clever.</p>
<p>Yeah definitely better than HYPS + M or HYPS + C. Those don't fit well. CHYMPS is good. Let's keep it.</p>
<p>i will be at stanford in the fall. i guess sometimes i feel inferior that im not going to harvard. but i should feel blessed right? i mean stanford is good too right?</p>
<p>Dude. What? I'm not a personal fan of Stanford, but dude. Tell me you're kidding.</p>
<p>no im not. i dont know. im just weird. well, poupoudidou, in your opinion, do you find stanford as prestigious as harvard? i know prestige shouldn't be important, but i must admit that it is for me.</p>
<p>as another poster once said, CHYMPS reflects the mentality of those who use that term.</p>

<p>Ask yourself, who are you trying to impress? Having studied there since graduating, I've learned that I personally would have been miserable at Harvard. The campus, the culture... not for me. I came to appreciate even more that where I went (cornell) was the perfect school for my personality, my academic interests, and my highest growth. </p>
<p>If you choose a school based on what this nebulous mass of people will think, you'll probably never be happy. After your first job, it's what you've done on your own. Your college degree fades into a little line that is quickly glanced at on your resume. All you have left that matters is your personal experience and how you grew during your time in college. I know people who have done that from small public universities not even ranked and they have companies falling all over them for work because of what they did during their time at school, not where they went.</p>
<p>Seriously - I've worked with and befriended a lot of people from Harvard and Yale. Some are impressive; some are not. Where they went to school factors in very, very little in how people perceive and respect / disrespect them. </p>
<p>I'm not trying to be mean. You're just very deluded as to what really matters and I'm hoping you make the best decision for you as an individual. </p>
<p>Christ - I need to stop procrastinating work. Good luck.</p>
<p>SYPHILIS? hmmmm...</p>
<p>thanks applejack. but that's who i am i guess. i've tried to get over this inferiority complex but i cant. i wish i wasn't like this. my preference for the most prestigious school shows just how shallow i am. i wish i could change. well, maybe once i do attend stanford in the fall, i will start appreciating it.</p>
