[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Peer group matters a lot. Obviously, there are smart kids at every university, but constantly being surrounded by driven & accomplished peers breeds a natural desire to excel and succeed. And as parents, we all want our children to succeed, no matter how we individually define 'success'; for me, it's defined by how my kid sees it, and they want to aim for an elite university.[/quote] Does it? My kid is at a T25 and has found all of the “perfect” kids annoying. She feels they are more focused on getting the club position or the good grade than the experience. They are afraid to not be perfect. She opted out of many of the clubs an major filled with these folks and has chose a path that gives her the experience she wants and surrounds herself with a great peer group (who are not the perfect top of the class kids). Also, another thing she has noticed is that the “perfect” kids cheat (a lot). [/quote]
