[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s overrated. A lot of the insanely intelligent types of students go to public university, breeze through at the beginning and then challenge themselves in grad courses.[/quote] This is the answer. [/quote] The highest intelligent ones would be better off feeling some sort of challenge as undergrads, get to grad level course as juniors(not that uncommon at top schools for a lot of students to be ready) and really explore some complex subjects in depth as an undergrad. That would be a much better use of that levelof brain. Besides, who wants to pay for their kid to “breeze through?” That is not the point of college. It should challenge them. [/quote] Going to a top school doesn’t guarantee that. I know a kid who breezed through CMU for CS and now works quant; he could’ve gone anywhere and been fine with the challenge. Some people just are intelligent.[/quote]
