<p>Ah, well there it is! So the problem must be triple-layered. I wonder if your analysis is really that complex, or if you’re just squirming to fit the facts to your point of view.</p>
<p>And there you go ridiculing those who distinguish between ND and Dartmouth, all the while drawing divisions between the “old” and “new elite” to make your point.</p>
<p>Prestige-seekers do not bother me. What’s truly obnoxious about these boards are the indignant moralizers for whom prestige is far below their tastes, but who manage to see it everywhere and identify it with everything.</p>
<p>I tend to agree with DunninLA. Gaining admissions is just a lot harder these days, and students want validation for their efforts. Sorry to point it out, but Emory is a safety school for Harvard.</p>
