[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rigor has always mattered regardless of school type (private or public). The 4.0 with easy classes will have far worse outcomes than the 3.85 with the most difficult courseload.[/quote]
This is old advice. Not at all true if the supposed “rigor” courses (math? STEM?) have nothing to do with the 4.0 student’s interests. Major matters more than ever: colleges are sick of STEM, Econ, and biosciences applicants — as well they should be,[/quote]

Schools are shutting down their humanities departments and expanding their stem offerings.
I'm sure they would like students to be interested in the things they want to teach but with large language models a lot of humanities are as useful as an abacus in an age of calculators.
Students are choosing Purdue STEM over Brown humanities.

Wow, you are so wrong it’s funny.

In 5 years, [b]AI will make most STEM majors obsolete.[/b]

Companies are recruiting for people who can think creatively, communicate in ways that motivate and touch people, and can lead strategically. Sadly, STEM majors are taught none of these things.[/quote]
This is full of bs.

AI will not create new knowledge.  Who is going to discover biological pathways, who is going to invent a new treatment regime, who is going to isolate a new organism?

Don’t be fooled by job ads that say “we’re recruiting people who can…”.  Once the AI bubble bursts, they’ll all be making lattes in Brooklyn.[/quote]
