[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]is Top 40 a thing?

I see schools like URochester, UWisconsin, UTexas Austin, bunch of 2nd tier UC schools.[/quote]

If you can't get into one of these schools, you are not really competitive.

If you get in, you can proudly say I got in to a T40 school.[/quote]
You should see the qualifications of some of these kids you are calling “not competitive”.

”Top 40” is a manufactured ranking based on faulty criteria.

There are a lot of kids who worked extremely hard that are feeling “less than” because of the flawed perception that admission to certain schools is the only measure of success.

Yes!  My kid sat took MVC (calc 3) and organic Chem at URochester with other freshman and over 50% of the students had ALReady taken those courses in GS, just did not have a way to get college credit.  So they were retaking them.  Some really smart kids at those schools—I’d say an avg of 89% in organic Chem tests (so no curve) is a group of really really smart people.  Just as smart as those at ivies/t20 schools, just didn’t win lottery for those schools [/quote]
