[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Malcolm Gladwell gave a talk about this phenomenon, with respect to students majoring in STEM and the SAT scores at their schools. At least when it comes to majoring in and graduating with a STEM degree, students do benefit from being in the top quarter of their class. [/quote]

He did a podcast on scores not mattering for law school either although it wasn’t really a scientific study or anything. But I think it is completely true.[/quote]

My child is greatly enjoying being at CMU with a bunch of smart and intellectually curious kids after attending a W school where kids were maybe more motivated and competitive - but still lots of smart kids. He is a massive nerd, your child's mileage may vary. [/quote]

what is CMU? 
- grad of T10 university, so I guess " book smarts" aren't everything :-)[/quote]

What is google?[/quote]

Per google: Central Michigan University[/quote]

Not the first result. Not that confusing unless you just want to make a point on the thread by trying to put down a school. Makes you look pretty dumb.[/quote]
