You forget those students rejected from Columbia.

Hell, most of you are probably reading this comment right now, thinking “What is this kid talkin’ bout? The Ivy League universities are the best in the country, nay THE WORLD! **U.S. News and World Report** even says so. He’s probably an ivy league reject too!” The worst part is that many great colleges (that may have been the perfect fit for a certain student) are completely ignored in favor of 8 schools that are featured in a magazine and everyone talks about. Break free from the collection of beliefs that have been imprinted on you and form your own opinions. (I guess it’s too late now… but in general, intelligence is better than ignorance, just as euphoria is better than bliss.) And thank your lucky stars you are at a place filled with hipsters, asian nerds, “artists,” and gay men (sometimes all in one!) instead of frat brahs, sorority sluts, and other polo-wearing punks.

I can’t believe people came to NYU identifying themselves as Ivy League rejects. So ridiculous. The amount of stock people put in that NCAA athletic conference is absurd. Their rejection of many outstanding individuals in favor of kids who fit the classic good student stereotype (4.0’s at easy public schools, president/VP/treasurer/secretary of 3 high school clubs with only 4 members each, bullshit work experience, etc. You know the type, there are quite a few at NYU…) shows how bogus their reputation really is.

Have any of you gone (to visit or for school) to any of the ivies for an extended period of time? It doesn’t take much time on campus to dispose of the commonly-held notion that Ivies are on some sort of higher level than any other college/university in the cunt tree. Simply because It’s the dominant belief that they are the best schools of higher learning, it continues to be and will continue to be.

@Kevin

I totally agree. If you go on the NYU Wikipedia article and click on “Nobel Prize Winners” in the third paragraph, you will see that NYU has more Nobel Prize Winning Faculty than Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Cal Tech, Penn, Carnagie Mellon, UT Austin (ick!..sorry I lived in Texas and am glad to not be there), Duke, Vanderbilt, Amherst, University of Virginia, BU, Brown, Obelin, Rice, Tufts, The U.S. Naval Academy, Emory, and Fordham, not to mention that Dartmouth isn’t even on the list. I know many people have bad things to say about NYU but I’m proud to attend the school ranked 40th best in the world by U.S. News and World Report.
