Exactly. Flaming out at an Ivy League school is still flaming out. You are responsible for making the most of your education.So overrated. I got an email yesterday that UT was the top school in the country for Goldwater Scholars, which apparently is the most prestigious undergraduate STEM scholarship. Many schools have students apply. It is what you make it out to be. UT has great L&T, accounting, engineering, and science schools, just to name some.
