[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By weeding out, you mean the students perform poorly in the courses needed to become a doctoral level scientist. Not sure how to get around that. I have a PhD and often have to review the applications of students who sincerely want to pursue a PhD in my field. Their grades and standardized test scores however, suggest that they will not complete graduate school successfully. We would do them a disservice to admit them to an expensive, time-consuming (5-7 year) process...if all indications are they will not finish with the degree at the end. [/quote] suggests they are not "verified brilliant".[/quote] No, it suggests foreign training is a abysmal compared to top tier American colleges, which are stupidly filtering out brilliant children. Isn't it wonderful that our top tier colleges funnel thousands and thousands of wannabe doctors each year into banking and consulting! :roll: [/quote]
