This is a bad place to ask this question because salty locals here will try and tell you otherwise. Do not fall for that. Stanford brutally mogs NUS/ SMU onto another plane of existence. Very difficult for singaporeans to hide their inferiority complex in the face of an objectively greater human. |
I don't think a local grad could handle being in the same room as a Stanford or Harvard grad, to be honest. Their ego just won't take it. I am a Cambridge law graduate, and when
NUS grads talk to me they always avert their eyes and speak extremely softly/timidly. Those who have the balls to look at my face talk in a tone of reverence and awe, like they're laying their eyes on a truly superior organism.
Not everyone is born equal. Those who are smarter, stronger, taller, better in general will always end up in the elite educational, super prestigous institutions like Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Oxbridge/MIT/Stanford. The students at those schools are destined for greatness. The peasants with birth defects and lower genetic quality are relegated to
NUS/
SMU.
NUS/
SMU grads inevitably end up working for their Oxbridge and Ivy League counterparts. Such is life.
