<p>^Yikes. You seem intent on inciting a personal feud. I’ll tell you again that I’m not offended, but I doubt that you’ll listen. You have yet to substantiate any of your claims; you merely stated that all colleges that aren’t absolutely top-tier (HYPSM and… Case Western?) are essentially indistinguishable from one another. This view is not widely held, so if you want to get people to listen, you would be wise to provide some convincing evidence. In order to prove my viewpoint, I could provide you with statistics concerning selectivity, quality of professors (in terms of research/advanced degrees held), average salary postgrad, placement into grad school, USNWR rankings (you’ll probably call me out as a snob… fine. Hate on the rankings all you want, they mean something), and several other telling statistics. Now, again, will you please tell me why North Texas and Duke are indistinguishable?</p>
