[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t understand this board’s hostility to nerds or strivers. Wonder if social media has made people carry this “vision” of what they think college “should” be versus what it actually is. [/quote] The problem is that the typical frequent posters here obsess about SATs and T20, but they actually think the ideal kid is the kind of kid who gets Commended status, golfs, rushes a fraternity at UVa. and does well at the fraternity and eventually gets an MBA, not a kid bright enough to get a CS degree from MIT. Most of the frequent posters here pretend that an MIT student is the ideal student, but, in real life, when they were in grade school, they probably bullied the kinds of encyclopedia-reading 8-year-olds who ended up at MIT.
