[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can you objectively tell other than scores? I went to Yale and some people were bonkers smart, and some weren’t all that smart at all. Some did really well, and some failed to launch. SAT scores are one of the few objective measurements we have for raw horsepower. Most of the bonkers smart people were from random places in America who got in entirely on merit.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vanderbilt and Yale have the same average SAT scores for incoming applicants. [/quote]

This is laughable. The quality of admitted students and the applicant pool at Yale is leagues ahead of Vandy. Stop [/quote][/quote]

I went to undergrad in Europe and HYPS grad, I work in an industry with a preponderance of HYPS undergrads, and I've managed and mentored hundreds of them. Many are impressive but not most. The ones who've stood out to me most as the smartest and most driven have been the kids that come from state school undergrad (most of whom went on to HYPS grad) especially the UCs, Mass and Michigan.[/quote]
