This site sure has its share of prestige ho’s. But it is a free country. If people want to work to their death just for the privilege of getting rejected by a name brand school, it’s their prerogative. These schools need a large number of lemmings to keep applying so they can stay prestigious. At the same time, lemmings are by nature boring and unoriginal, which is why they need these schools, so they can be considered semi-interesting. They form a symbiosis.
