I’m not disparaging anything. Only you seem to...

That's neither here nor there really. I'd appreciate an answer!

1. I'm not calling you dumb. 2. It's prestige you're after. It's clear from your answers you want some validation from society. There are brands you can chase - BCG for consulting, Google (no Amazon doesn't carry the same weight), Rhodes scholar etc..

If you're saying Amazon doesn't carry the same weight, you seem to be calling me dumb.

No I am just stating a fact. Also if someone perceives another person to be "better" than you, that doesn't make you dumb. There will always be people smarter than us. If you're chasing validation you can keep going and chasing degrees + institutions.

And now please answer MIT vs NCSU ? If you reply with NCSU then we're done here. No point even discussing with someone who is lying.

I don't see the relevance of this question

Why can't you answer it ?
