Which university is the most effay? I vote nyu because >over

Ivies and small rich private schools are most effay because you can look down on people who went to public universities.

>>10737988
In terms of actual fashion? It depends.

On one hand, you have places that have rich people who blow a lot on fashion but that may not be particular geniuses. I'm sure you'd find a lot of these places in the south - Vanderbilt comes to mind as a likely candidate.

On the other hand, if you're going for pure money and power, I suppose the ivies and various NYC universities may be an option, but that's really not the case anymore. The ivy I went to had extremely fashionable people, sure, but a lot of people were just hard working nerds who got themselves there through sheer force of will. The latter group was generally well dressed but not particularly fashionable.

Should I just kill myself? My entire sense of self worth comes from being able to smugly look down at others internally, all while maintaining a facade of indifference towards my abilities. I want people not only to feel inadequate in comparison to me, but to also feel stupid and ashamed for ever taking pride in their achievements when mine are objectively greater and i don't even appear to brag. And I can't do that if I'm a B+ student at a B+ school.

>>10739731
HAHAHAH you described me to a tee.

I'm a 3.9 student, top 5% in my major, and I got a shitty fucking B- from this prof on my LAST semester (this Fall, I just got my bachelor)

I know that feel. Everyone tells me my grades are superb and why worry about one class, but I need to be at least 3.9 to feel better than everyone.

Luckily I already did my Grad Apps and most of them don't need your fall semester grades.

Do you go to a relatively-prestigious-but-not-ivy-leauge school too? Honestly if I were in an Ivy now i'd just be kickin' it and living by the mantra of Cs get degrees (I'd still try for A's but a B wouldn't kill me) because the only people i wouldn't be able to shit on academically are other ivy league students in my major with higher grades. And those are likely people I'd wanna be friends with anyway, and who I'd be worthy of associating myself with because we're all taking about the same challenging levels of coursework. I could deal with not being in the 99.999 percentile, but not being in the 99.9 percentile is just a big ego-crusher.

I go to a school far less than prestigious. I go to the University of Utah.

I applied to almost exclusively ivy league grad schools though. Because as you said, I would be way more content with life in them.

I kind of wish I wasn't this way, though. Always trying to feel superior.

I am sure it is a consequence of low self-esteem, although I feel way confident. I am not sure what it is, but I think it is a flaw. What do you think?

Nah that's exactly what it is! It's a major flaw of mine and one I'm desperate to get rid of. It's the kind of thought patterns that fueled my eating disorder which could've royally fucked my high school performance, thus undergrad applications, if my parents hadn't intervened as swiftly as they did. I'm confident too, because I DO understand on some level that I'm considered impressive by some people. It's just the idea that people from Princeton/people of any higher social standing really could look at me and say "HAHA she thinks she's actually smart and talented? Where does she get off feeling proud when she's so far below us?", and be completely valid because they're in a better position to judge than I am. I know people generally don't work like that, but the hypothetical possibility alone is discouraging.

Lmao the fact that my brother is a model for a very famous brand and no one from my area has even heard of the college i go to fuels the fire even more but that's another story

It actually is a great school, and the coursework can definitely be rigorous, especially if you're like me and try to join a bunch of ECs. I just don't feel entitled to brag about going there/ complain about the rigor of my classes because it's not an Ivy League therefore it's obviously a shitty B+ school and not good enough (according to my insecurities).

Good luck with your apps though! If you do end up going to Wesleyan, just don't take a class with a professor named Joel Pfister. Trust me.

I'm from the us and I'm applying for next fall. From what I can see, you need consistency with grades and all, but test scores matter a lot too.

Depends

appropiate to the personal and general situation, positive/influential, probably yeah.

Mourinho, Lenin, Goethe, Napoelon, young Freud. Delightfully arrogant and irreverent. Anyone trying to make something of themselves or make a change is doing so via their own narcissism. But with these people, the 'narcissistic personality disorder' is never apparent because they never fail to live up to their chosen identity, due to their immense talent. They can exist as non-narcissists because their narcissism is appeased, they haven't encountered failure. The problems of narcissism, and where it becomes truly boring and unfashionable, is when it exists in people who aren't able to find any identity that is suitable that they can work with. So the the confusion, the anxiety, the highs and lows in self esteem and constant low level rage and consequent spite, begins. I don't know, maybe this is cool? Certainly it describes a lot of artists. But they manage to handle that stuff and sublimate it into something creative, in the same way Mourinho manages it with football success and eventually they usually achieve health and lose their narcissism. I'm describing male adolescence, really, what on earth do you think the quarter life crisis is about? But if you can't make a success of anything to an appropriate degree, you get the people I was responding to or worse. Isolate yourself, start dreaming. Avoid real work and start dreaming of how you'll be when you get cool 'optimum' clothes. Maybe go on /fit/ as well. At best you feel like you are on a constant treadmill filled with fear and dread in case it all falls apart. Anorexia. Idk it isn't good.

Look at this poster, she's unhappy. She's been given some intelligence, but she's miserable because she is...wait for it....imagining that someone from Princeton (lel) might go 'wow this girl thinks she's hot shit but I am even smarterier than her!!1' And she doesn't notice how stupid or infantile she sounds

Poster you're referring to and you're right, typing it out as candidly as possible makes me see how dumb it sounds. Reminds me of when I was little and would throw a fit whenever I didn't win at Candyland.

I'm not at the "avoiding real work or dreaming" stage though. I'm working even harder now than I ever did in high school and trying to do the best I can with my skill set. The whole "self worth stemming from putting others down" was an exaggeration, it's definitely not how I feel most of the time. I realize how fucked up that sentiment is and so I try not to feed into it, and in a lot of situations I feel relaxed and I don't have to "compete". Otherwise lmao I'd be entirely unable to maintain friendships/relationships. And yes, I see the correlation between these thoughts/ behaviors and the damage it can cause to myself and others. For one it's fucking exhausting for me and it's annoying and unbearable for anyone to listen to me ramble about how "I got an A in this hard class but I can't ACCEPT it because I don't think I DESERVE it waah please validate me"

I desperately desperately want to believe things like "all bodies are beautiful" and "you're not worthless because you didn't go to college, everyone has their own pace/limits" but then sometimes The Voice comes back with "You only think that because you're Weak and have given up yourself. How dare you have Merciful feelings towards Literal Human Scum". And idk if it was a part of me that existed outside of myself I'd just love to kill it right now but I'm just as responsible for those thoughts as any other and so I have to work to actively dismantle that toxic component of my personality.

Eh I appeciate your sentiments here, but don't think you are as benevolent as this post, and ignore the quite foul stuff you wrote above-- ''I want people to feel embarrassed that they were ever proud of their own achivements when they meet me'' Jesus. You've been shamed because some of your remarks sound OTT and have retreated a bit, okay.

If you aren't dreaming or avoiding real work, then what was the anorexia about?

The dreaming stage wasn't in reference to you, but a more general explanation of what happens when a someone in a narcissistic stage starts failing. Right now you've still got some hope but what year of college are you in? You can bet if shit isn't right you'll start inventing ways to fuck yourself up. You mentioned you don't go to an Ivy, you got anorexia around the time you were applying I guess? Dreaming is one of the possible options, dreaming, rationalising, and/or creating fake barriers and restrictions on oneself. Shit like Anorexia like most very effective defences has a bit of all of them.

The fact you are working really hard now and getting rewards from it is a really positive thing though, and I imagine it'll lead you too a better place if you keep it up. Someday after doing really well you'll run up against some people leagues above you, and hopefully be able to handle it ''I could deal with not being in the 99.999 percentile, but not being in the 99.9 percentile is just a big ego-crusher.''

(also come on, if you were in the 99.99 percentile and weren't a total bum you'd surely be in harvard in a flash senpai?)

You don't have to work to dismantle anything, that's a trap your crafty but not quite Ivy crafty ego has laid for you. Me me me me, maybe therapy, maybe a yoga retreat and so on. you can't ever think your way out of a toxic personality, ifs self-protecting. don't think about yourself, focus on action. Are you hurting anyone? What are you doing right now? That's all people care about.

I mean that sounds so obvious stated like that. Some people, lucky as they are, don't feel inadequate in the presence of hardly anyone, not because of how they compare but because they just don't fucking care how they compare. I'd rather adopt that attitude than the "second place is first loser" and "normies REEEEE" attitude that I have now. I'm able to recognize the need to "push people down" is a sign of insecurity, yet I claim these hypothetical Princetonians are totally entitled to do the exact same thing? It's completely inconsistent logic. We'd be equally fucked up people in that scenario.

>you describe feeling like normal people are literal human scum
Because if I have to enforce these high standards on myself I have to enforce them on others right? I'm miserable for having my own incessant internal judge, so I have to drag others down with me so they can all be just as miserable and I feel less isolated. Which is a) pointless, because the "dragging down" only exists in my own mind and has no impact on actually mentally stable, secure people and b) selfish, because even if it did have real-life consequences, why should I make people suffer just because I'm dealing with my own junk? They don't need to be implicated in my problems, they have nothing to do with them.

There's more too it than just focusing on action though, you've got to sort of accept the feelings that you have, but in a way that doesn't make it part of the problem or the cycle. With anorexia i'm told it's a mix of euphoria/superiority/despair, it isn't just hating yourself for not being thin enough right? Likewise even your 'recognition that I'm fucked up' your 'desire to change' is part of the same process, unless it actually leads to action. Issue is nobody ever accepted your grandiosity when it was appropiate, really connected with you and let you know it was okay. The problem isn't your flawed self, the flaws exist because imperfect children need to be accepted despite them in order to really move beyond them > Reminds me of when I was little and would throw a fit whenever I didn't win at Candyland. Kinda weird that you mentioned this.

You think you aren't a textbook case? Former anorexic clever girl anxious ivy grad school ambitions? Whoa, as if didn't I catch you in the last quriky romantic film I saw? Narcissism says, it's different, there is more to this than what meets the eye, let me explain....

I'm just saying people aren't that complicated, and if you find yourself getting some resonance from what i'm saying but then telling yourself 'oh but, this is different, this is more complicated, its different like this and that' -- that's a defence.

Okay there you go again with that crap, ''I recognise that this view I have is inconsistent'' ''I recognize that I need to change my mind' me me me me me me. Nobody cares gurl. I already shamed you about it, and you go right back too it? you aren't making any progress like that. Are you hurting people? Are you making their lives better?

STEM education trumps all others.

all of these "artists" are totally not effay.

Not only are STEM students superior in intelligence, but in 5 to 10 year we will have pussy on tap.

anybody actually going to school for Fashion or Film or Design are the biggest C.u.c.k.s. imaginable. Computer science majors are our generation's cool kids.

Definitely NYU.

Have you actually spoken to people with STEM degrees who are 5/10 years out of school?

I work with them regularly. They do not get laid much, if at all. The vast majority of those with Ph.Ds in STEM fields are pretty obviously on the autistic spectrum and don't make nearly as much as you'd think.

>>10743537
If you had any math skills you'd realize that you could easily bump a 3.2 up to a figure that would be at least minimally competitive for grad school. It'd just take hard effort.

Most schools also have a re-take policy, which essentially allows you to over-write the existing grade. You could easily do that with your worst grades to lessen the impact of the 3.2.

Food for thought.

>>10743387
I like this post, so to add to it:

I've been to both an ivy league school and a non-ivy league school for different degrees.

There is absolutely no fucking shame in going to the latter. The former sounds fancy on paper but - in reality - had little other than marginally smarter classmates seated next to me.

If you are even reasonably driven, you could easily bootstrap yourself from a shitty Bachelors from a state school into an Ivy League grad school diploma - and that'd be goddamn impressive. It'd just require a lot of effort to distinguish yourself, which isn't impossible but is admittedly quite difficult.

(That's exactly what I did, and it basically required clawing myself up from the fucking mud)

Education is undeniably effay.

Most kekworthy post i've ever read


My god you don't know what you're talking about it'd take paragraphs to even begin to explain why.

shortly: art kids stay cool, stem kids stay cucks, all of human history isn't changing because mark jewenberg's got some nice media coverage. STEM people just haven't got 'it' and as much as you imagine in 5-10 years that bitch in your picture will be as broken as you are already, eager to hop into bed with some STEM master race fag, the most cursory glance at the actual people in those fields would obliterate that delusion

something you clearly haven't bothered to do, because you're as much of a cuck with that attitude as the thoughtless kids taking arts and not considering the future

Left school, went overseas to try and join a foreign army, they wouldn't let me in sadly. Found a job and worked to earn enough money to come back to the US, sort of ended up in the middle of the Crisis in the Donbass, got back to the US after.

Went to a shitty Community College, earned some good grades, and then transferred to an Ivy League school.

My thing with Reed is it's super liberal - I don't mind liberal campuses, and I am a liberal, but Reed is SUPER liberal.

When I visited the amount of dyed short hair I saw on women, and the amount of cuck dyed hair guys hanging out with them was a bit disconcerting.

Also I love the idea of theme dorms, but some of them (where the SJWs probably stay) like the super hero and gender equality and videogame dorms were just absolute sties. Dirty, disorganized, and there were all sorts of middle-school cartoon shit all over the walls.

It was the kind of school where people probably say NYA~ unironically.

There are probably some real bros there, I would probably stay in the /lit/ dorm or /outside/.

>>10751036
I'm also liberal but I know what you're talking about. Portlandia is a hilarious show but I'm not sure I want to live that everyday.

I just got a Presidential scholarship to UVM. This may be my one chance to escape from going to the state school that's 10 minutes away from house because although I've gotten into much better schools, I haven't received any significant merit aid. I'm fairly certain that I want to pursue some form of graduate school so going to a low tier undergraduate school doesn't seem as bad to me. What should I do? Go to a high tier private school and leave with crushing debt, or go to a lowish tier state school for almost nothing? Please help /fa/, you're my only hope.

You want to pursue grad/professional school ID just go to the state school. You'll leave with a much higher gpa and little to no debt. You can always make up for it by going to a prestigious grad school. But that of course depends on how confident you are with yourself.

Ottawa or Carleton? got admission offers from both a week ago. also applied to guelph and ryerson. Macmaster too. which should i pick?

what kind of stuff do you do? is finance fun / rewarding at all or should I just call it quits and retire to the countryside with my erhu

>>10753435

i never liked finance that much. when it came down to final recruiting i decided i didnt want to work 100 hour a week at a bulge bracket.

i found a job in the city at a boutique brokerage (like, a real boutique with less than 50 people, not one of those middle markets calling themselves a boutique). i do a weird niche job in finance, and the closest approximation is equity research. i work 40 - 50 hour weeks and make about 3/4 of what i would make if i worked at a bulge bracket, but i definitely take a hit in terms of brand name/prestige/defined career progression. i don't mind that much because im not passionate enough about finance to want to climb the analyst/associate/vp ladder or go for PE after 3 years of slaving at goldman.

i'm probably not a good example of what to do if you actually like finance and want to stick with it. i was extremely lazy in school and did no internships (which is pretty unheard of for this industry) but i skated by because, modesty aside, i think im much smarter than most of my peers. if anything i'm a perfect case of what not to do if you want to make it finance.

>>10753435
>>10753457

to add, there are two types of people in finance:
1. they really genuinely enjoy it. sounds weird, i know, but there are people like that;
2. they really like money/the idea of more money later on

you have to be one of the two to really make it in finance (high finance/Wall street, not generic corporate finance or whatever) because the demands on your time are quite high.

Adjust down 20 to 25 pct and it's more accurate. Also that's if you're one of the top ~1/3 of students in a top 10 school. If you're similar but with engineering or comp Sci you're looking at a comparable range.

tech (comp sci) has better working conditions usually and generally better work/life balance

could have just been a rumor spawned from the rigorous academics and the drug reputation

write something about urself

>>10755605
but why u chicago

>>10755610
Why do YOU want to go there anon? How did you learn about the school? What draws you there? Do you have an anecdote of when you decided that u chicago was the best school for you? It may not be your first choice but try thinking that if you dont get into the school you dont have a future and focus that into your essay. Good luck on the apps f am, hope you get in

depends on your GPA and extracurriculars. A 30 won't make or break you. It will certainly help, but it's not good enough to be a determinant (good score though)

>>10756950
DAMN RIGHT

>>10756806
I keep it a secret because one of the programs was small enough where I could theoretically be looked up, but: an okay school then an ivy.

66% average on a challenging exam ? Tough classes here rarely have averages going over 45%

>>10756982
3.67 is a bit low, but not horrible. ecs suck, but your scores are good
write a good essay, and be personal and shit
