[quote=Anonymous]Coming at it from the other end I never felt at my Ivy that kids who came from competitive public magnets ever had any advantage over other students except with respect to the math classes they were prepared to take as freshmen. In general the kids from those schools also contributed less to making the schools interesting places than students coming from other schools. So the advice would be not to assume you’re that special because when you end up at a college or university - whether it’s an Ivy or Virginia Tech - you’re going to find out that’s really not the case. Just try to be the best version of yourself and aim for a soft landing when it turns out there are equally if not more talented kids who may have attended schools besides TJ, Stuyvesant, Lowell, etc. [/quote]
