How overshadowed by Georgetown do GWU students truly feel? Forum

GULC > GW
UT > SMU
NU > Chi?!?!?!???

You were one of those kids who got upset if the red blocks weren't all stacked together, weren't you?

Just would like some consistency duder

Whenever there's an obvious "second choice" school like GULC/GW, UT/SMU, NU/Chi, etc., the specificity of the insecurity makes it cut a little deeper, I guess.

Blatant NU trolling

For or against? I actually bet it doesn't happen as much b/t these 2 due to the WE requirement at NU.

Mainly I used those 2 because I wanted include at least one pair of T13s in the list, and I didn't want to start up the Col/NYU debate.

Perhaps the opposite way then: Chi > NU? I think UChi is the vastly superior school, but I also imagine it's full of the exact type of personalities that would obsess over such things.

Moving on: do GULC students, in turn, feel insecure about not getting into Vanderbilt? If so, are they insecure about diploma prestige, or just irritated at the superior job prospects of the latter?

I think most GULC kids i know have a hard enough time navigating the sea of people that is their school. They don't have much time to worry about what's going on in Nashville.

The answer? Probably a mix of ignorance about the job market on one hand and anxiety + killself on the other.

THIS.

I think GW kids probably don't care. Because if you're that insecure, you wouldn't go to GW in the first place, or any school that's not top dog in it's region. That's when you go to Texas, WUSTL, Minnesota, etc.

LOL at Wustl being top in it's region.

A little, but not overwhelmingly so.

I know in Boston the BC/BU kids never hang out at the same places as the MIT/Harvard students.

Probably has something to do with the fact that BC/BU are in entirely different areas from MIT/Harvard. And, to be sure, I'm not even certain BC and BU kids "hang out at the same places."

If you go to GW, you spend three years huddled in the dark underworld below the glimmering lights of Georgetown. You become like one of the crab people, writhing and filthy, huddled in your own stench, waiting for the dazzling angelic Georgetown students to drop a crumb into your gutter. You know it won't be a big taste, but any scrap, any at all, is what you live by. With time you may get lucky and find a job serving a Gerogetown student, or maybe even a Georgetown alumni. Their limos aren't going to drive themselves, their floors don't self mop, and if you think that one of the great minds of Georgetown should ever be expected to run errands or do chores around the house, your twisted mind has no idea how the real world works.

But there's hope. Just because you'll never touch those beautiful luminescant genius scholars who seem to float as they sparkle down M Street, they will always need your hunched back to serve them. The world needs ditch diggers too, and as unlikely as it sounds, Georgetown students are a part of our world!
