[quote=Anonymous]Finally listening to the new episode. His 2nd part is a point that everyone here makes a lot:a top school is not about the content. It’s all the same content/info (Harvard’s organic chemistry class is not in innately better than someone else’s organic chemistry class). It’s about the peer group; the mentors; the research pops; the networking. The content is commoditized. The biggest difference at an Ivy is the class is taught faster, there’s an assumption of a higher prerequisite knowledge and math competence, and they’ll get further into topics, more advanced topics. He also talks about “over-indexing on course rigor” and the detrimental effects of that (overindexing happens if the kid has ANY Bs.)
