  1. I am confused. Do you choose schools based on fit or prestige? I want "fit"; one professor chose "prestige".

      Fit: "You've spilled some prestige into my fit!"

      Prestige: "Ugh! I got some fit in my prestige!"

      Both: "hmmm..."

      Moral of this "story" Why not have a bit of both? :)

      This sounds like causation/correlation. If you go to Harvard, do you get a job because of prestige or do you get a job because so many Harvard graduates have deep connections? If the former, than prestige helps. If the latter, your connections would get you a job regardless of where you went. My suspicion is that the people who do best coming out of Harvard are the ones who have been prepped and groomed for Harvard since they were first sonogrammed in their mother's womb.
