SuperCaleyGoBallistic Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 You are better of getting a dictionary out pal. The words "unwanted" and "tolerant" confuses your little brain. You lack intelligence. It's 'your'. Unlucky. Great contribution as ever mate. Ohhhhhh supercaley, a window licker like Boab corrected your spelling. That's got to hurt. Excessive use of smileys = definition of a simpleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Ohhhhhh supercaley, a window licker like Boab corrected your spelling. That's got to hurt. You wouldn't get a job making boxes let alone being a box office poster. You remind me of the guy in a news paper who had intercource with his bicycle tire. Because I'm a sensible poster and don't type anything that breaks the rules of the site. ^ ^ ^ ^ You weren't on here when awra was, so you're basically admitting that you're an alias. But to be fair you are coming across as a desperate previous banned poster who craves attention on an internet forum. I fear for the human race with the likes of you thieving oxygen. Edit: To add, you are either extremely stupid or you're wanting people to know you're a previous banned poster, that's what probably makes it sadder than what it is. ^ Grammatical genuis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputation matters still, the number of people in senior positions from "traditional" universities will be higher than say those from Caley, Napier etc... It's sort of like the glass ceiling, its still there to large extent and a little naïve to think otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sort of like the glass ceiling, its still there to large extent and a little naïve to think otherwise. You are right yes but i would say that is possibly due to the people that attend those universities being differently minded than someone from Caley.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 A degree from Cambridge isn't the same as a degree from the University of the West of Scotland. Having taught in a school that had a head who was pre-dispositioned to recruiting Oxbridge graduates I can tell you that the issue is never quality but pure snobbery - as he he found to his cost when he recruited a first class Cambridge honours grad who was fekking useless. Don't get me wrong - there are good Oxbridge grads just like there are bad WoSU grads - the point I am making is that the "elite" is based on nothing more than good old-fashioned nepotism.

The OP Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Presumably papers are always cross-marked by an external examiner, so a first from Caley isn't really any different to a first from Aberdeen, Edinburgh or Glasgow, apart from in terms of others' misguided perception? It seems to me that more people will attain high grades in the latter universities, and more outstanding people will go there, because they have higher entry requirements and a better reputation, but if you've got a 2:2 from an ancient university there doesn't seem to be any way you can hang onto the gifted students coat-tails, and lord it over a 2:1 from a former poly.

It depends, if you're going for further study your previous institution could well play a big part. Similarly some companies look specifically for students from higher tier universities, strategy consultancies for example hire almost exclusively from Oxbridge. On the whole, it actually means f**k all to be honest. It is more an indication of school performance than anything, which in itself means very little. Anyone who tries the snobbery bit is deeply insecure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
