If you had admits from MIT and NCSU, both full rides, which one would you choose ? Let's see what cognitive dissonance you concoct now.

That wasn’t my question

Answer my question too, what would you choose between the two ? Would brand and prestige play a role in your decision ?

All your posts here disparage higher "brands" than what you have.

You're already far behind due to your insecurities or Will an internet forum really guide your life ? An MIT grad will always have more gates open than an NCSU grad. You need to do other things in your career to lessen the gap. There is no moving past this point no matter who you ask. And no the amount of hard work you do doesn't matter. Everyone of the "elite" school students work hard.

I stated a fact. You implied it meant you were dumb. The average MIT kid may as well be smarter than the average NCSU kid. But there sure may be NCSU kids smarter than some MIT kids. All of this is relevant to a certain degree. You keep on harping over the same points.

"Yes, it'll suck for the kids, but not as much as drowning in their own fluids would." I keep reading that the casualty rate for young people is miniscule. It's the nursing homes that are being decimated, no?

The kids going to visit their grand parents on weekends is a risk as well

Yeah, so the first course of action would be...don't visit them this weekend. Or the nursing home.

I’m not disparaging anything. Only you seem to...

That's neither here nor there really. I'd appreciate an answer!

1. I'm not calling you dumb. 2. It's prestige you're after. It's clear from your answers you want some validation from society. There are brands you can chase - BCG for consulting, Google (no Amazon doesn't carry the same weight), Rhodes scholar etc..

And now please answer MIT vs NCSU ? If you reply with NCSU then we're done here. No point even discussing with someone who is lying.

If you're saying Amazon doesn't carry the same weight, you seem to be calling me dumb.

I don't see the relevance of this question

High correlation, yes. Poor kids don't know how. I didn't grow up poor but nobody in my circle knew how.

Or maybe you tried and it just didn't work out ? What were your test scores ? Did you have something that set you apart academically or otherwise ? Did you castigate MITs prestige in your essay as you seem to do on HN ?

I don’t even remember the MIT essays actually. I do know that they shouldn’t be treated better than me though.
