[quote=Anonymous]What field? It’s useful to recognize that the top US colleges are the best in the world. Those professorships are highly highly highly valued. Highly. In the sciences and many other fields, prospective profs are competing with the best the world has to offer. And that’s a steep hill to climb. So if you go to a lower ranked college, it’s not just Harvard grads ahead of you. It’s the IIT’s. Oxford. Cambridge. Chinese universities. Australian universities. The whole world. Same with bad grades. Lots of other students out there in other countries working hard. US universities are a very very talent- driven place. And we want them that way. That said, if you’re good and you work hard and you’re lucky, you could still rise to the top. All that said- talent matters. [/quote]
