[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many 1%ers on here clutching their pearls that their little cubs will finally have to compete with kids who've had to overcome way more challenges than theirs. Keep 'em coming![/quote] Great idea. The idea that overcoming adversity always makes up for a lack of intelligence is laughable. It’s such a fake narrative and yet you all think that as long as you repeat it enough everybody will believe it and it will become true. Overcoming adversity – grit – is a key life skill. But a gritty but less intelligent kid will always end up getting ground up at one of these top colleges when they face more intelligent kids who are also gritty. That’s the truth. But go ahead and keep repeating the mantra that top colleges make the kid as opposed to kids make the top college.[/quote] Why do you assume gritty is less intelligent? Maybe the kid with grit has intelligence and wisdom. [/quote]
