[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok can someone please square the circle Schools are harder to get into than ever before yet we are hearing from faculty that there is a crisis of basic competence in the student body. What is going on? [/quote] IT's simple---those applying to T25 schools are not the same ones who are "in a crisis of basic competence" A kid can get into Harvard, despite the fact 40% of their HS class will not graduate/barely graduate and 60% won't even go to college. One has nothing to do with the other [/quote] No, I mean specifically faculty at t20s who say that there is a crisis of competence with their undergrads these days Not the general unwashed population [/quote] Academics at these colleges live off of belittling those they deem insignificant. It’s utter bs, the top of the current generation is the most prepared cohort of students in living memory.[/quote]
