[quote=Anonymous]I think it all depends on both one's ability and personality. I have 1 uber driven super smart kid who got a full ride to a top college, graduated at the top and scored top internships and jobs - as we expected bc he is crazy self driven and peer group is irrelevant to them. College was super easy for this kid with no competition. Kid #2 also crazy smart, more of an a academic snob but not prof driven, went to an ivy - also graduated at the top and great job but more low key. Kid #3 also at an ivy - this kid does best when surrounded by accomplished peers - thrives and excels with competition and admits that it pushes them and normalizes the hard work. 3 different kids in different size ponds. All happy and leading independent lives. [/quote]
