How could someone not like us? We're the best university in the country, we're smarter than everyone else, our students are better cuz our acceptance rate is the lowest, our grads are more successful and wealthier, our fans are classier, our football players are saints, we've won 53 straight Directors Cups, and on and on. While it all may be true, humility isn't necessarily a strong point.
I find Stanford students to be no more elitist than other students. In fact, it may even true that Stanford students are more humble having realized that they are no longer the best students at Stanford and there's always someone better.
