[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was reading about Olympian Kristen Faulkner, who went to Philips Exeter, than Harvard for CS major and competing in crew etc. then of course the Olympics, and all that entails.

I was curious about how she achieved so much, and if you read up on her family history, they ALL went to Philips and Harvard, going back to 1842. Her N-grandfather started a mill, and his sons went to Harvard and ran banks, and real estate development. It goes on for generation to generation.

I have hopes for my kids to do well in life, but we are barely middle class and my grandfather couldn’t read, and this is their competition. Oh and AI. [/quote]

So. People like her yes go to Harvard. I know nothing of her family money but most families like hers have long spent all the money.

You seem like the exact right competition.  The job of someone going there is to get a good education, learn to adult, find your path and your code, and make friends.  [/quote]
