[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The smart kids who didn't end up at elite top 20 colleges never genuinely wanted it, it was the parents pushing it or kid only wanted it for shallow reasons. Smart self-driven ambitious kids find a way. Even if that means going to UVA for a year and transferring. Super smart kids find public universities miserable.[/quote] I mean, what do you say to such BS? I was that super smart kid that turned down an Ivy (Harvard) to go to my state flagship because I didn't want my parents to go into debt for my schooling. I loved my time there. Sure, some of the academics were easy. But certainly there were challenging classes. Went on to a highly competitive grad school (ranked #1 in my field). I am certainly not alone... Smartest kid I ever met was from my state university. [/quote] If true, outlier, possibly insecure outlier who feared hyper-competitive Ivy. Either way, exception, not the norm.[/quote]
