<p>I just realize dthat I am a prestige whore. I applied to like 2 or 3 Ivies just b/c they were Ivies and I found that my "list" was essentially a reassortment of the top 20 schools according to USNWR (minus HYPSM). I feel like crap finally knowing the truth. I realized that I am no better than a cog on a wheel buying into the capitalist perception of BRAND.</p>
<p>**** just got real son</p>
<p>If you are not joking, I would attribute it to the effects that your environment had on you. Same thing happened to me, but I realized it too.</p>
<p>Well plenty of Asians feel the same way, so don't worry about it.</p>

<p>Is this what UPenn's made up of?</p>
<p>Haha glad I didn't pick Upenn then.</p>
<p>Only person I knew who went to UPenn was a prestige whore.</p>
<p>Threadstarter is a bit of a worthless troll, so I wouldn't let this thread affect your opinion of Penn. There are definitely less prestige whore types there than at Harvard, etc</p>
<p>thanks for wasting five seconds of my life</p>
<p>Well good working giving Penn a bad name...must not have been that prestigious after all...</p>
<p>Unfortunately, (in my experience) many employers only want potential hires based on the college's name despite whether or not the hire actually did well at the college (i.e. I always wonder about the doctors who graduated at the bottom of their class. Who gets them?) or have the necessary skills.</p>
