You just had to know there would be a Florida connection somewhere. Never a day goes by that someone in this sad state gets caught up in one scam or another. No wonder Trump has a primary residence in Palm Beach. He is right at home here in the scoundrel state...

Not exactly, but if you say so:

US News World Report 2018/19 Rankings:

#7 Stanford
#12 Cal Tech
#19 UCLA
#22 USC (tied)
#22 CAL (tied)


#35 Univ of Florida
#50 Univ of Miami
#70 FSU
#230 to 301 FAU

So, ok, USC is not Stanford, but USC kind of crushes ALL the FL schools too. (yes, I know that Univ. of Florida is a good school, calm down, but also get out of FL and get some perspective). It helps when attempting an argument.

All those ratings and stats are meaningless. If 90 percent of the kids don't get accepted but still the same 90 percent who did not get will go off into the world and do fine. Parents are so worried about nonsense, most kids will not get accepted into the top 5 percent schools, just as they will not play on the national team etc.

Yes, 90% will do "fine" and if doing fine is what you aspire to, then all is good. Then there are the 10% who want more than fine. For them these stats are actually very meaningful and significant.

I've worked with plenty of azzholes from top schools that are doing "fine." That college pedigree only helped them 2-3 years out. After that, their own skills needed to kick in. Most of them aimed right for average.

A perfectly predictable response. Thanks for not disappointing.

Any idiot who claims, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Georgetown, and MIT make no difference in the long run, deserves to be left in the dark. In the meantime the kids at Apple, Goldman Sachs, Google and McKinsey will not be looking back.

So rich and/or famous people skirt the system. Wow, in other news the earth is round, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and Trump is a con man.

In other news, the Democrats will never win a presidency again with the buffoons that they now have front and center.

It would be extremely hard for any party (I hope) to match the level of buffoons in the current administration.

There is a study that shows where a student ranks in their class in college is more of an indicator of their future success than the school they attended. That aside, of course if a kid can make it into the most sought after competitive schools that is great. However, not most but the vast majority will not make it into those schools. Yet they still go on to be lawyers, engineers, scientist, scholars, etc. To judge success as something as narrow as that is pretty ridiculous.

And the white working class to middle class student gets screwed

It is new news. In the old days rich republicans used to bribe colleges by building libraries and fund programs. Today rich liberal democrats just pay off college admissions officials and nothing gets built as they try to tear down the nation.

Difference between types of corruption.
