[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it weird that people are debating which universities people had or had not heard of in the 90s and acting as though "heard of" equates to merit. In David and Goliath, Gladwell describes why he thinks a particular student should have gone to UMD rather than Brown, where the science was too hard for her. What that told me is that Gladwell doesn't know squat about Maryland. Or what the options were for someone at Brown. Signed, Someone who'd heard of Duke, Chicago, Northwestern, Hopkins, Rice, and WashU in the 80s[/quote] +1 I can confirm Rice, Chicago, Northwestern, Duke et al were all prestigious and highly regarded universities when I was applying to schools in the '70s.[/quote]
