Get over it.

There will be Ivy kids that are brilliant, not just book smart. In fact, many of these kids need to study only a fraction of what your average kid does to ace a test. They don’t need standardized test prep. They never were spending hours on homework like other kids with the same HS course load because they had faster processing speed, better memory, and higher natural intelligence. They read for pleasure a ton. They are intellectually curious.

Is this kind of kid found elsewhere? Of course! You just will find a much higher number of them at an Ivy which makes for an incredibly stimulating environment.

But to categorize anyone that goes to an Ivy as a mere prestige seeker or a grind or book smart is not what you will see there. These are kids in a multitude of different things-club sports as well as academic clubs, additional research, etc.

You can look at undergrad as solely pre-professional to get a job in a very defined field (which AI may do away with eventually) or you can think about it as place to learn, explore and broaden your mind. [/quote]
