<p>no thats so shallow.
whatever happened to being the better man?</p>
<p>Don’t go around rubbing it in their faces that’s too egotistical and obvious (also a good way to get your ass beat). I say you do it indirectly, perhaps wearing a sweater of the “elite” schools you got into.</p>
<p>If you’re going around saying that you’re better than them, then you are one of those people at HYP who give the impression that students at prestigious universities are snobby and look down to the rest of the world.
Honestly, if I got into HYP I wouldn’t need to make others feel inferior to be content.
And I don’t think getting accepted into HYP is an achievement, rather it is like a privilege. They didn’t create those universities as an award, the purpose of going to HYP (in my opinion) is to be in an enriching and encouraging environment with others who also aspire to do well in life</p>
<p>^^^ maybe students at HYP should be snobby.</p>
<p>For those of you claiming that you know a harvard grad living with his or her mom, i have 1 statement for you: For every 1 of those that live at home, there exist 5 more who are running Fortunes 500 companies, doctors, lawyers, or wall street barons. You gotta love the power of statistics.</p>
<p>Around 20% of the kids at my school receive FA. Some people receive not a lot (like me- but enough to afford the ridiculous price tag), other poorer students receive full rides. Someone asked about FA at my school.</p>
<p>Intentionally by belittling or bragging? No.</p>
<p>Unintentionally, by merely the fact of getting in? Perhaps, considering no one from my school has ever gone to HYP as an undergraduate freshmen. Most get into UCs or community colleges. I think the most ****ed will be the parents of this year’s and last year’s valedictorian (they are brother + sister) because the brother (this year) was rejected from MIT and Harvard and the sister from Harvard, Yale, and Brown. (Their stats aren’t even that good) but yeah …parents.</p>
<p>Me: “I’m going to Princeton”</p>
<p>Them: “What’s that?”</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Me: “It’s like Hogwartz”</p>
<p>Them: “LOL, PioneerJones you’re so funny.”</p>
<p>Me: “I also got into Harvard.”</p>
<p>Them: “WAT? OMG NO WAY”</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>People at my school could care less.</p>
<p>^sums up what I was gonna say.</p>
<p>This guy and I had to do a Big Year-long Project together as freshman (with two other warm bodies.) He (Asian over-achiever) thought he was the sheeeeeeet and that I was the dumbest dumb person ever. We both handled group work badly, and fought All The Time. This year, (when we’re both totally over that frosh-year-long fight, but haven’t talked since due to classes being different) he got accepted to Yale and WL’d at Harvard…while I got into Harvard. I celebrate that he’s going somewhere great, but also a secret bahahaha in his direction that I got into a school he didn’t. Being outwardly classy was definitely the best way to go about it, because the rumor mill told him. (There was no way that news was going to miss him.) He was very surprised, and then was like “Huh. I guess you’re smart after all.” (in my yearbook) which pleases me no end, while I would still feel guilty if I’d gloated.</p>
<p>you realize you will most likely be working for someone who went to a school that you thought was inferior?</p>
<p>I’ll mention it with a high degree of nonchalance.
Me: (indifferent face) Yeah… I’m going to Harvard. It’s not that difficult to enter after all.</p>
<p>That is, if I’m accepted. :D</p>
<hr>
<p>I won’t intentionally brag; why should I? News travels fast at my school - I tell my classmate in the morning, and by afternoon everybody knows.</p>
<p>@ladyjacket Pshh, Entrepreneurial courses FTW.</p>
<p>No matter what i do, im gonna open my own business after a few years of work for an employee. Whether thats a hedge/investment fund or law firm, i dont know yet. all i know is I is DA boss.</p>
<p>What i would do is flaunt it.</p>
<p>Me (indifferent tone): Yeah im going to Harvard. Statistics show that i will be more likely than you in this lifetime to make $$$$$$$$$$$BANK BANK BANK BANK$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. And statistics my friend, doesnt lie.</p>
<p>
Of course, you’ve failed to control for lurking variables including but not limited to: student aptitude, motivation, background, and interests. As such, no causative relationship is proven. More importantly, even a statistically significant variation based on an adequately controlled sample would not necessarily provoke any convincing conclusions on an individual level. You gotta love the total lack of power when you reach potentially invalid conclusions based on inexcusably poor statistical analysis.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t want to rub it in anyone’s face unless I didn’t like them. So I’m applying to Princeton just because I can’t stand the other person from my school who is, and I want to prove to her that if she can get in, so can I.</p>
<p>Even if I hate the people in my school, I don’t need to tell them where I go. I’m done with them as of June 9th, 2012.</p>
<p>
A text wall of verbal rape.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>People aren’t going to patronize your business just because you went to Harvard.</p>
