[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can't all be done. That's the point! These schools are about learning to handle pressure. Putting the most effort and the most efficient effort into whatever will be weighted most important. It's operating on the thinnest edge. Don't have what it takes to compete at this elite level? Can't handle it?That's fine. This is a weeding-out process. There are plenty of other paths.[/quote] If only those sorts of people are welcome at those schools, where is the space for differences? For different ways of thinking and doing and being? What an anemic version of diversity. What a bland intellectual landscape. How boring to have a school full of the same kinds of people. [/quote] Would you also say that a place like MIT has a “bland intellectual landscape” just because they mostly admit highly gifted math and science types? I cannot agree with you. Society needs places that appreciate and train highly capable achievers. [/quote]
