<p>I don't think that's being a troll. I think that's calling out "elite" schools for being condescending, pretentious, and pompous...both examples are the same side of the coin. The schools are doing what they can to retain or raise their high status, while at the same time feeling that they don't have to woo students because of that very same status. Of course the catch is that they are working the system and the status is, to some extent, falsely acquired.</p>
