You Skanky Prestige Whore

That's right I am talking to you. Do you find yourself reading US News & World Reports the day the rankings come out to see if your undergrad made a move up the rankings? Do you take jobs based on your future employer's rankings in the Fortune 500? Do you "mistakenly" use Latin phrases to indicate your Jesuit High School beginnings? Are all your friends graduates of elite universities that people would kill their first born to get a degree from? Do you search for housing in cities known for their exclusivity and minimal sightings of "those people?" If you answered yes to any of these questions its quite likely your a prestige whore. You seek validation and security in knowing you are member of celebrated institutions that separate you from the plebs. Don't worry its nothing to be ashamed of. You should be more than proud that you don't have to stand in line because you "know people." The fact is you're getting very close to knowing what its like to be King.
