In the Real World, Nobody Cares that You Went to an Ivy League School

As

junior,

everything

in

my

revolved

around

getting

into

the

In

reflection,

my

in

was

naive,

not

to

mention

a

bit

snobby.

I

quickly passed over state schools and southern schools, believing their curriculums to be automatically

inferior to northeastern or western counterparts. Instead, I dreamed of living in New York City and my

parents obliged me with a visit to New York University's

(NYU) campus. During the tour, tuition fees

were discussed. (NYU is consistently ranked one of the country, s most expensive schools, with room and

board costs totaling upwards of $$64,000 a year. ) Up until then, I hadn't truly realized just how expensive

an education can be. Over the next few months, I realized not only could I not afford my dream school, I

couldn't even afford the ones where I'd been accepted. City University of New York (CUNY)

，

Rutgers

University,

and

Indiana

University

were

out

reach

as

were

Mississippi

State

and

the

University

of

Alabama,

where

I

would

have

to

pay

fees.

Further

complicating

college

search

was

a

flourishing track

career

I wanted

running

but

my

times

weren't

quite

fast

enough to secure a

scholarship.

[D] And so, at 11 pm on the night of Georgia State University's (GSU) midnight deadline, I applied online.

Rated No. 466 overall on Forbes' Lists Top Colleges, No. 183 in Research Universities, and No. 108 in

the South, I can't say it was my top choice. Still, the track coach had offered me a walk-on spot, and I

actually found the urban Atlanta campus a decent consolation prize after New York City.

[E] While it may have been practical, it wasn't prestigious. But here's the thing

I loved my

lower-tier

(I

use

the

term

cautiously,

because

GSU

is

a

well-regarded

research

institution that attracts high quality professors and faculty from all over the country. ) We are taught to

believe that only by going to the best schools and getting the best grades can we escape the rat race and

build a better future. But what if lower-tier colleges and universities were the ticket to escaping the rat

race? After all
