<p>Herman Melville didn't go to college. He makes fun of Harvard and Yale in Moby-Dick.</p>

42

<p>I hate Yale.</p>

<p>tom, the guy who invented myspace went to bekerley so i dont think he counts but o well, he's my hero..</p>

44

<p>I would take it there are many more succesful people from non-top schools than there are from top schools.</p>

45

<p>The Forbes list of the Richest People in the World is populated with a ton of college dropouts.</p>

<p>Speaking of household names: Martha Stewart, BA Barnard College</p>

49

<p>Well my mom went to Barnard also, but her degree says Columbia on it....so...</p>

<p>Martha Stewart went to Barnard back when Columbia didn't accept women (or am I off a little in the years). Barnard was where all the girls who would have gone to Columbia went instead. Either way, it's undergrad is affiliated with Columbia's and she's a Columbia alum.</p>

<p>Also, going to Penn, I plan to be more successful than all these people, so I'll just be another amazing Ivy Leaguer while the rest of the world lives in mediocrity.</p>

<p>Maybe we should start a thread titled "Losers who DID go to Ivy Leagues."</p>

55

<p>Define "success."</p>

<p>Is success how much money you make, or how many times your name comes up in Google? I think that my professors are all pretty successful people, and some of them went to no-name schools. </p>

<p>I really think that success is one of those impossible to define things that few people younger than 30 really have a good grasp of in reality. Myself included.</p>

56

<p>Leeroy Jenkins is from WoW.</p>

57

<p>Matt Groening.</p>

<p>Also, Julie Taymor went to Oberlin, and she's one of the smartest people ever, imo.</p>
