After scrolling through these message boards several times, I have repeatedly noticed bitter, arrogant posts about Stanford undergraduates from the person who attended Berkeley undergrad and Stanford grad. Don't you have anything better to do with your life than to sit on the Internet and complain to anonymous masses? Are you so intent on spreading the gospel that Stanford sucks and Berkeley rules? Please, find something better to do with your life. |

This is my advice to anyone applying to college. If you can get into a ivy-league school go, because if their is grade inflation there, you have a good chance of getting into a top grad school. Even if you do not decide to go to grad school, the name will take you places after school. If you can go to a school that will give you easy grades and the opportunity to find a good job after college, it would be illogical not to go. At least you will have a social life there, since you won't have to study all day to get good grades. And that statement about people that go to ivy league schools are all dorks and nerds, is a bunch o B.S. I have a few friends that go to ivy-league schools and they are not dorks or unathletic. Most of them were pulling a-lot of girls in high school and still are in college. A large percentage of them complain that the girls are ugly,but it isn't much better here at rochester. I still don't believe that the person posting under the name ivy-man is actually from an ivy-league school. He sounds like an absolute idiot and doesn't know how to engage in a meaningful conversation. In the end who really cares about what your school is ranked, because most of the schools that we are comparing, the margin of difference, is so insuffiecient to be arguing about.
