[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed that kids I knew to to be top 1% in competitive high school who went to top colleges and their peers who barely made 10% and attended average colleges are working at same companies and getting accepted at similar level grad/professional schools. Is this anecdotal or do you see it too?[/quote] There are a lot of problems with your assumptions here, but the first would be that there's an enormous academic difference between the top 1% and top 10% in HS. The top 1% of a HS graduating class of 500 is 5 people. Employers recruit from a lot of schools, not just HYPS. Which isn't to say there isn't value in going to an elite school, but if you are coming back to work near where you grew up, it's not the only thing.[/quote]
