This has nothing to do with the letter, but .. bitter much?
This assumption that there is a plethora of TFBs in certain cities or Grad programs is beyond maddening! I found far more trustafarians and Gold Card babies as an undergrad in a state school than I ever did in graduate school. None of them had the stamina to make it into Grad school. As for smug jackasses, I've found them everywhere from coffee shops and classes to this thread. In my personal experience I found the highest number in the Art and Art History program at the school I was in, which made my switch into sciences academically difficult, but emotionally satisfying. Fortunately, I've worked very hard to remember that my experience was based on a limited N number, and I live with the hope that other art programs out there aren't filled with smug, talentless hacks with parents to mooch off of.
Just sayin.
