MIT isn’t ivy. Either way, undergrad prestige for STEM isn’t super important if you’re planning on going to grad school (which is likely given the schools you’ve applied to). If it’s accredited, it’s the same basic curriculum as anywhere else.

Go to a state school with decent research opportunities and a good quality of life, and focus on getting a good enough GPA to be competitive for a master’s program studying something that excites you.

On reality I just want to be a Fashion designer... I secretly applied to FIT on NY without my parents knowing but never heard back from them, called and emailed them but nothing... The plan was escaping to to NY ang getting a shit-eating job enough to pay for my own apartment and tuition even If I had to be homeless or live on a shithole. But this COVID shit and the protests fucked everything up, and not I don't even know if the university is gonna be online. how the fuck do you become a good designer from home if you can't fucking network I... I don't know bros I'm just gonna kill myself.

go to literally any school that has research in a field you want
do a lot of research in that field
get admitted to a better school for PhD

you can always pull the huge gambit on them to get them to pay for a tier1 private non-ivy

Then why worry about not getting into a top school for a completely unrelated field? If you aren’t in love with the subject, you’d likely be pretty miserable and maybe even drop out anyway given how intense the curriculum is at a school like that.

From experience, 100% Being bitter about not getting into a specific school ate away at me until I got severely depressed and dropped out, despite the fact that I was going to like the 3rd highest ranked school in the US for my field. I ended up losing my dream girlfriend, my scholarship, and had to move back home all because I wasn't content with what I had. I'm getting out of it now, but going back to school after 2 years is way more of a pain in the ass than just getting over my saltiness would've been.

Your first mistake is listening to your retarded family by thinking a ivy league school will automatically make you successful. I say buy land, pursue a career that you're passionate about and I mean really passionate. Find shit that makes you happy than for the benefit of others. Take up hobbies and learn new skills that would benefit you. It seems that every tiger parent who wishes the kid be fucking Jesus Christ himself and thinking achievements and prestigious awards makes them happy. In honestly the are the true selfish assholes that only care about the titles and appraisement that their child learns rather than their child's well being and happiness

That's shitty of them. Either way, going to a big state university and enjoying what it has to offer socially, then getting into a prestigious grad school can be a much more pleasant path than starting undergrad at an Ivy, and it'll get you to the same place in the end.

That’s a really interesting combination. What kind of opportunities does that lead to? I’ve considered adding a history or international relations degree to my AE to go into defense consulting, but haven’t really seen anybody else combine an engineering degree with such a different field.

[Anonymous No.11909409]

This thread is filled with copes

The truth is more complex. Your undergrad matters, somewhat. More so for connections and opportunities than anything else, as the instruction is surprisingly similar.

But now that you've been rejected, the best thing to do is to accept it and move on with your life. Don't get attached to a soulless institution, be your own person.

Judging from your post it seems as though you'll have some difficulty with this, but it's what you must do. MIT wouldn't have made you permanently happy or anything, permanent happiness is a capitalist myth: it's been demonstrated overwhelming that the default state of man is a general mild contentedness, or neutrality, punctuated with moments of brief emotion.

I rambled. Hope you find peace dude.

If not, tell your parents to fuck off. Ivy leagues are stupid. I got into a few and now I go to Stanford and it’s all just a meme. They’re *slightly* better than other schools on some fronts, the same as others on other fronts, and far worse than some schools on a few fronts.

Corporate overlords care less and less about what college you went to and some don't even care if you went to college. Talent and experience matters the most these day. College doesn't teach jack these days since 90% of it is opinion anyway. The biggest advantage college offers you is connections. I'm sure you can find a more creative way to make connections spending tens of thousands of dollars. Or pick the cheapest nearby college and go there.

If you compare the available coursework and textbooks used, exams posted, from say MIT and Northwestern University there is a substantial but insufficient difference in rigor and complexity to the material such that they are probably superior in most ways even at the freshman level to other schools. Insufficient because the price and competitiveness of admissions, even given that most ivy league students are on generous scholarships, are so absurd as to render the rather large gap in educational quality void by comparison. Graduate quality is quite different though, working with leaders in their field is probably a priceless advantage.
