[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From Malcolm Gladwell - there are a lot of MIT Business majors that started as STEM majors. You judge yourself with those around you - at top tier school you are likely at the bottom. He gave an example of a [b]Brown Bio major who dropped out but in retrospect she thought if she went to UMD she'd have a PHD in the field. [/b] [/quote] Likely the other way around. [/quote] I was going to say, why didn't she just go to slacker UMD and skate her way to that PhD?[/quote] The bad news is that a PhD at a less-prestigious institution is just as much work as at a more prestigious one, but with far less chance of getting an academic job afterwards.[/quote]
