I did say "all else equal," and that includes performance and personal qualities.

I don't have many life regrets but fricking off in high school is one of them. I had Ivy league dreams in middle school. However they fell by the wayside as I had to "fit in" in high school, dumbing myself down in the process to gain approval from peaked-in-high-school Rob Lowe types.
Worst thing is my stepfather is a Yale graduate. I would've been a shoe-in had I just applied myself.
I graduated from UW, proud of it. Just sometimes wish I had the opportunity to prove myself at a top 5 university.
