[quote=Anonymous]At least half of Ivy grads have normal/typical lives. The ones you hear about are the smart AND rabidly ambitious ones. Zuckerberg didn’t get his ambition from Harvard. What he got from Harvard/classmates was an idea and the pathway to fund it. And then, there were years more work away from Harvard to make Facebook/Meta what it is today. If your kid is going to Harvard with no real direction, a lack of ambition to change the world or be the very best at what they do, they’re not going to be a standout alumni. Brains and a good school are not sufficient for notable success. You need big ambition, lots of grit, and a network that will fund you. If you have it all, sure the Harvard environment is better than a top state school, but for many it won’t make any difference at all. [/quote]
