I always believed that ivy league schools were better because the rich sent their kids there and the schools only accept two types the rich and the very smart. So the kids who were very smart got the chance to network with the very rich so that after school the very smart would have the connections to enjoy the lifestly the very rich had and more. thats why ivy league schools are the best.

3. He was correct; The Ivies do not offer merit scholarships. 21 is a movie. Don't you know anything about movies?
That is seriously debatable.

so what's the difference between "scholarshop" and "financial aid", coz i found this:
it's almost an insult saying Ivy schools dont give scholarships, whoever said this, it's strong reflecting of your intelligence level too lol


in case you have difficulty in English, here is the definition of the word "scholarship",

a scholarship is a scholarship, stop playing games with the wording
Well, you don't seem to know that sentences begin with capital letters nor do seem to understand simple rules of grammar, so I don't think you have the right to talk about the intelligence of others.

Also, that is not the definition of scholarship.

I actually checked it, for whatever strange reasons it is true

still BC owns BU on overall rankings, (BC #34 BU #60, based on US NEWS 2009 ranking) not sure why then LOL

to Mr.Pennquaker09, the almighty English king, I am a foreigner so English is not my first language, that's why I have the mistakes. please point me to the correct definition of "scholarship", I am willing to learn.

Rankings are irrelevant, and even though I no longer attend BU, it's still not 26 spots worse than BC. And as a foreigner, you should be partial to BU, since BC is about as diverse as a package of Wonderbread.

Well, I didn't see the movie, but the story of a group of MIT students beating the house at 21 is true.

And....I made the comment about MIT grads attending Harvard for grad school. Not all MIT students attend Harvard for grad school, mind you, but MIT generally does not admit its own undergrad graduates into its own grad school. It is also kind of looked down upon, even though it is harder for an MIT graduate to attend MIT grad school then someone applying from a 'lesser' school with a lower GPA, GRE score.

Don't you think that it is ridiculous to attribute the success of a schools hockey team to that schools overall strength? Yeah, Chuck's University is better than Yale because Chuck's football team has been undefeated for the last for the last decade. Sorry but college ball has nothing to do with a schools education.
