Are you really that pathetic?

I'm very, very prepared for all the monkey shit this is about to receive from wannabees. I know that everyone is in quarantine and you are all bored - I get it. This website is a great place to go for getting recruiting info and wasting time. But for the love of God, I swear I've seen more school rankings/comparisons/debates on "school prestige" than I've ever seen on this website before.

I know, I know, all of the college students on here are either 1) antsy about getting a SA offer, 2) antsy about converting their "quasi-guaranteed" FT offer this summer, or 3) just being a snob, so this is a way to make yourself more confident for interviews/feel better, but its getting out of hand. We used to come on this website to talk about banks, recruiting, finance lifestyle, AMAs, and more useful or entertaining topics. This is an IB forum and every other post is about "Which school is better?"

Before my IB days, I went to what you call a "semi-target," had loads of fun, and am still prideful of my school, but I hope this isn't how you'll act at social functions. If it is, I'd love to know the number of times you've been laid.

You're driving away the useful members of this website from logging on and posting. You've intensely diluted the usefulness of this forum with school ranking prestige posts. Does anyone agree that we should make WSO interesting again?
