<p>Sad but true. We are all prescribing to the theory that one school will make us better than others because of ranking.
In the back of my mind I wish that kids would stop hoping to get into these schools because then it will be easier for me. Not Really</p>
<p>The reason I want to go to the "elite" schools is for the sort of people that attend such a school. They are intelligent and respect the search for knowledge at a higher level than many other student bodies might.</p>
