[quote=Anonymous][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 think the OP is making observations about current students. Admissions is much more competitive now and the students are different.[/quote]

OP needs to meet and get to know dozens from T10 schools. With kids at different ivy/T10s and friends at other ones, we know many current students. Almost all are fun and creative yet also serious driven students who pursue many things at once, and set high goals for themselves. Yet they also belong to arts and performance groups, volunteer on and off campus, and have some of the most interesting discussions. We found the majority of tour guides to be interesting students you would want to have lunch with and get to know better over deep discussion. To each their own. 
We went to ivy/T10 and know many fun creative smart people from those schools as well as from many other schools that are not elite. There are creative students at many schools, all the way to the top. [/quote]
