It’s funny bc from my experience, most people who obsess over “elite” schools and “prestigious” positions are those who arent in them. I went to an ivy and it felt like a normal ass school. Classes, exams, parties, etc. You dont wake up and feel any different, and honestly you forget it’s even an ivy, until you meet some kid who hears your school name and makes a remark about it, whether as a joke or because they have a chip on their shoulder.
Same can be said about jobs. WSO kids think IB will be “prestigious”, but once they get the job, they see it’s just a shitty office desk job that pays well, and dont think much of it anymore. Same with PE.
The main thing elite schools have are a ton of resources for students and, on average, smarter students. I transferred from a T50 school to an Ivy and I'd say the T50 student body was 90% idiots while at the Ivy it was down to 50% stupid. Both feel "normal" but normal can change a lot.
Completely agree. Not saying it’s the same or that there’s no benefit, but just that 99% these kids don’t wake up and feel like they’re the shit or better than everyone else. The idea that it’s some complete shock or revelation for them to hear that there are others who are smarter/harder workers than them is hilarious.
Yup. It's literally like a regular ass school. I went to a Notre Dame/Gtown type school my freshman year and then transferred to an Ivy. The environment is the exact same - just college students trying to have fun. Might make the occasional Cornell is a state school joke, but that's pretty much it. this post reeks of cope
Let me preface by aaying I went to T5 school and this is my insight
Why do kids from non-targets write these bizarre posts? Not one person who went to an Ivy thinks that just because they got in their lives are set and they don’t have to work hard. But since you don’t go to one and are just pretending on the internet, that’s what you assume.
This is just not true. I am sure most people who go to or went to target schools work hard but when your daddy donates a large sum of money to get accepted into a school, you may not a strong incentive to work hard.
How many people you think exist in the world where their father is so wealthy they can buy their way into Harvard?
Basing your point on something that only plays to a handful of people shows how stupid your view is.
Yea there are few billionaires in the world whose kids don’t have to work, how does that apply to the vast majority of people? You’re a genius.
Cope harder non-targetoid
The networking at top schools is good. You might not see it now, but in 10-20 years you’ll have a good Rolodex.
You are either
a) a coping non-target student or
b) a coping target student who failed to get an internship
Stop coping and just try again next year
You sound like a complete idiot in a state school and no internship--or any prospects for that matter--coping with your shitty life choices and academic failures. No one has ever denied that there are smart students at state schools, and no one has ever denied that there are dumb students at elite schools. That you can't even grasp this simple truth already reveals that you're a complete moron--fitting, as you clearly go to a shitty school. You'll surely achieve great things in life with this attitude and level of critical thinking. All the best.
Life is unequivocally easier when you graduate from an elite college (career, relationships, status, etc.)
