[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know. I'm in my 40s, and everyone I know who has done something really incredible as an adult -- founded companies, wrote books that sold well, designed something, etc -- all went to top 10 colleges. They are not sheep! They forged a path of their own, thought of a totally original idea, and they had the work ethic to complete it.[/quote]

I went to a big public state school. My kid is headed to an Ivy next year. He is far more creative and entertaining. We didn’t tutor or Kumon.  He had a lot of interests.  People always gravitated towards him- even not being the show off or the loudest in the room. He has a sh@t ton of grit and had a lot of failure doing what he loves, but he kept going. It’s just now paying off.

I’m curious as what the definition is: keg stands, beer pong, sorority rush, hard core partying? What exactly is the criteria we are using to determine “more interesting”?  We were all pretty much the same —kids from NoVA at VA university. [/quote]
