[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is pretty toxic! "Big fish in a small pond" emphasizes on competition. In elite schools there are far more going on than competition. Kids can be collaborative and community minded. The connections they established there help them far more than their gpa in their future career. If you are the only big fish in the small pond, where are you finding your peers? [/quote] You usually aren't turning down harvard for radford. YOu are turning down harvard for a full ride at some school where other very talented kids have gotten full rides to turn down harvard. Schools like USC, NYU, Notre Dame, Northeastern, etc have done this for a while now. I know people that have taken merit at Duke over full pay at Stanford and they are able to really take advantage of everything Duke has to offer because they have the leisure of mind to do taht.[/quote]
