You're already far behind due to your insecurities or Will an internet forum really guide your life ?
An MIT grad will always have more gates open than an NCSU grad. You need to do other things in your career to lessen the gap. There is no moving past this point no matter who you ask. And no the amount of hard work you do doesn't matter. Everyone of the "elite" school students work hard.

- mav3rick 7y agoIf you had admits from MIT and NCSU, both full rides, which one would you choose ? Let's see what cognitive dissonance you concoct now.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoThat wasn’t my question
- mav3rick 7y agoAnswer my question too, what would you choose between the two ? Would brand and prestige play a role in your decision ? All your posts here disparage higher "brands" than what you have.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoI’m not disparaging anything. Only you seem to... That's neither here nor there really. I'd appreciate an answer!
- mav3rick 7y ago1. I'm not calling you dumb. 2. It's prestige you're after. It's clear from your answers you want some validation from society. There are brands you can chase - BCG for consulting, Google (no Amazon doesn't carry the same weight), Rhodes scholar etc..
- akhilcacharya 7y agoIf you're saying Amazon doesn't carry the same weight, you seem to be calling me dumb.
- mav3rick 7y agoNo I am just stating a fact. Also if someone perceives another person to be "better" than you, that doesn't make you dumb. There will always be people smarter than us. If you're chasing validation you can keep going and chasing degrees + institutions.
- mav3rick 7y agoAnd now please answer MIT vs NCSU ? If you reply with NCSU then we're done here. No point even discussing with someone who is lying.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoI don't see the relevance of this question
- mav3rick 7y agoWhy can't you answer it ?
- mav3rick 7y agoI stated a fact. You implied it meant you were dumb. The average MIT kid may as well be smarter than the average NCSU kid. But there sure may be NCSU kids smarter than some MIT kids. All of this is relevant to a certain degree. You keep on harping over the same points.
