[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]State flagships are wonderful. I went to one --- my classmates ranged from valedictorians with 1500s to party-loving people who just made it in... Honestly, it's wonderful having that full spectrum. It felt like real life.[/b]

Maybe he can look at the elite scholarship programs at those school -- at UNC (my alum), it is the Morehead. They bond intensely throughout the four years and end up doing amazing things. Those kids were always golden people.[/quote]

Was going to reiterate your first paragraph, and then I laughed when I read your second. I, too, went to UNC. I got in from out-of-state and found that my fellow OOSers were well above average. I met a lot of Morehead scholars (many of whom are international students), and we had a blast but were still challenged in our classes (probably because we weren't on the football or basketball teams).

Hi! Yes, the oos are always smart, and even within the in state population, the full range exists. At my high school in Charlotte, UNC basically accepted all 50 kids who were in the top 10 percent of our 500 person class. Many, many of us went, from #2 to #50. As you might imagine, there is a huge range of capabilities there.[/quote]
