[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Correct. Ambitious kids become ambitious adults. [/quote] Yet you read college forums and it's full of fake anecdotes about all the smart kids cracking and bombing at college. It's all such a transparent cope from parents with average drifting kids. :roll: [/quote] Smart doesn't equal ambitious! Ambitious kids don't bomb. "Smart" kids, as defined by test scores, bolstered by tutors and pushy parents bomb - they never had the drive in the first place. This is a no brainer.[/quote] This x1000. It’s not brains. Its ambition. [/quote] And there’s a large overlap between “brains” and ambition…[/quote] This. My ivy kid’s peers almost all have both in spades. No doubt many will be doctors, lawyers, researchers, CEOs, etc, because that is what the majority do from Ivies and the like. [/quote]
