Today, my step-mother threw a surprise party on my acceptance to college. People kept telling me how delightfully shocked and happy they are for me. "UPenn" was written everywhere, when I really got into Penn State. Everyone thinks I'm going to an Ivy League. FML

At least you weren't the kid who got into UPenn and then had everyone hold him a Penn State party.

To #38: You have the most pretentious attitude I have ever seen. You really think you're the shit don't you? There are plenty of Ivy League grads who end up climbing up the "middle management" ladder, living in 200k houses, having six kids, going to PTA, and having a middle class lifestyle. Get over yourself. The Ivy League is not a ticket to an upper class life. Hard work and dedication are. Penn State and UPenn don't define who you are, you do. In no way are the kids who go to UPenn superior to the kids who go to Penn State. To all of those Ivy Leaguers who think you are the shit: you're not. This is your wake up call. Oh, BTW, I am reppin from Cambridge, MA.

HAHAHA... oh officerpat. you are hilarious man! all you did was stereotype the intelligent people in the world. And no, if you tried in High School you would NOT have gotten into an Ivy. Maybe a high GPA because high school is easy, but you seem like a pretty incompetent guy that would not do well on the SAT. And its more than just grades and test scores btw. Have fun in the army, because Penn State probably did not get you a job in this economy. And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE never never never ever ever ever recite MC and MB to describe why you are a screw up in life..... LOL... good job you took introductory microeconomics. Come back when you actually learn that that stuff is pointless, and go learn some real business. You dish that stuff out in an interview you are done homey! hahahaha. You state schoolers are hilarious... I mean the engineers and science/math majors are smart, but the business students are ridiculous.

Officerpat. Listen. * Never talk about economics again. Your intro level knowledge and rudimentary level of intelligence makes me feel dumber. I have once again lost respect for state school business students. * Yes I go to an Ivy. Yes I have a summer job to go to. Yes it is at a top firm. Yes you are going to the army. Yes Penn State got you nowhere in this economy.

Boo hoo at least you're going to college at least it's better than community college

enuyp: No one cares about your lousy summer job. I highly doubt you go to an Ivy if you think "going to the army" makes you an inferior person. I know tons of MIT classmates who went on to become Navy SEALs, Marines, etc. Shut your mouth before you embarrass yourself.

Rawr, people on this thread are so stuck up. I'm sure not all people at UPenn are arrogant, but seriously. I mean, extremely intelligent people get rejected from these schools because they're so competitive and a lot of people simply can't afford it. Get over yourself #42. There are tons of prestigious schools that aren't Ivies. To say all people that go to state school can't have high positions is absurd. There are many fantastic state schools.

#185 **** yeah! On Wisconsin! :D Anyway, beyond this asinine discussion of whose school is best, blah blah blah, I can see how that would be disappointing. Penn State is a great school, but it's probably a bitch to explain to everyone that it's not UPenn, especially at having a party for acceptance to UPenn...

Have you explained this to them?
