[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bay Area parent here and Cal/HBS aim. Berkeley was an incredible experience for me but in paradoxical, double edged ways. For example there was no hand holding. [b]If you survived that, you gained life skills; conversely, if you didn’t, there wasn’t much of a safety net. [/b]It was not easy to get undergraduate research opportunities; but if you did make it through, you had a chance to work with the very top players. The peer set is much more heterogenous than HYP, which is a great intro to life; however, I never felt surrounded by kids who thought they could change the world. They were there, of course, but you have to work to find them. [/quote] For HYP, the squid game starts in middle school. For Cal, the squid game starts when you arrive at Cal. In part it's due to its much weaker students (20% community college transfers). [/quote] Tell me you don’t know anything about life skills without telling me you don’t know anything about life skills.[/quote]
