[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I do take it as a sign that person almost always came from a family with parents who received a high level of education themselves, which also suggests there was some level of family money a generation or two ago. I didn’t really understand this until I started working in tech with really smart people from rural towns and who went to mid-ranked state schools and who so clearly could have gone to Stanford etc if they’d come from educated, affluent families — and public school systems where sending these kids to T20 was the norm.[/quote] I really don't think top 20 schools are "the norm" at any public school system. They aren't taking the bottom two thirds of the graduating class of any school, are they? But I assume you know this is an exaggeration?[/quote]
