Have you ever felt inferior for not being from a name-brand college?
GavinB: It never ends.  Even at a "Name Brand" school you're still looking up at Harvard-Princeton-Yale. If you're there, you're looking up at the Rhodes scholars, valedictorians, and the "stars" of each department.You have to remember that once you go to some top-rated school, you're suddenly in an environment where everyone goes to that school, and it stops being special.Set goals that will get you to a place where you can do the kind of work that you really want to be doing. If you can achieve that, you're better off than most Ivy grads. A top school brings a few advantages, sure, but nothing that a little success can't cure, and certainly not happiness.
