<p>Oh, no, the prestige game means a lot to Asian parents looking for bragging rights so therefore it’s of paramount importance. @@ </p>

<p>Let me spot you a clue: The very fact of desperately chasing after prestige is, in and of itself, the mark of a non-prestigious person or group of people. </p>

<p>And what those non-prestigious people count as high prestige is about as valid as assigning high prestige to carrying a Louis Vuitton bag because non-prestigious people have heard of it. “The masses have heard of it and are impressed” is NOT prestige. Not by a long shot.</p>

<p>(For the last time- we’re talking about PRESTIGE dude. In that context, saying X institution is “overrated” is a completely worthless addition to the conversation, given that it is a commentary on the QUALITY of the school in relation to its reputation.)</p>

<p>He was just talking about their basketball team…;)</p>

<p>^exactly, Bait you seem so offended! :O</p>

<p>Nah, definitely not offended. People just keep dumping into this thread because the quality/prestige difference is lost on them. So how am I supposed to know that someone’s dropping a random basketball reference into an academic conversation? :p</p>
