Prestige is overrated, likability and cute "mistakes" are nice to hear. Its peer ratings are not great and never will be great but the people who end up going are persistent and more reliable.

Prestige is good to believe in but people associated with prestigious institutions tend to be utterly vapid and in the end, undeniably lacking in something "human."
