In reality, being a drop-out from a HYPSM is a low-risk affair. You already have street-cred from being admitted to (channeling JonLaw), "one of those hallowed institutions." And if all else fails, you can probably go back and finish your degree. The risks are much higher for someone dropping out from State U.
