[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our private complied a booklet about various popular colleges. One Dean wrote that in the past Ivy students were upper crust but different in personality. Now he says the personality of the average Ivy student  is “driven”. [/quote]

You can be driven, but still have a different personality if different things motivate you.

You can also send your kids to a school where administrators try to affect an all-knowing tone.  It's not a big revelation to learn the Ivies aren't letting in as many pedigreed slackers as they did 50 years ago.  [/quote]

I think the real message is that HYPSM have completely ruined a fair number of our brightest kids. Any bright kids who are taking that BS seriously and trying to twist themselves into pretzels to please those schools probably have ended up with serious problems that’ll take generations to analyze. Our nation may perish because our brightest kids are more into checking boxes than actually doing anything of value. [/quote]
