[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the article is getting at is that smart people with emotional intelligence go far. Basing that conclusion on Ivy schools is a little reductive however. It's a very outdated metric. There are bright students with a high emotional IQ at all sorts of schools in 2026.

But peer group and good manners do matter of course - as they have since the beginning of time. Not exactly rocket science.  [/quote]
The metric is the concentration of these people.  Far fewer in other schools.[/quote]

Eh. Given admission priorities these days, the Ivy League ain't all that in 2026. For smart + emotional IQ, there are a lot of other schools, as everyone who has toured universities over the past three years has discerned. The Harvard Man is a myth today. Things have changed a lot. [/quote]

Disagree.  Ivy leagues are all test required now.  Of course they have institutional priorities, but they all submit scores.  The majority of other schools are test optional, AND give the same if not more preference to priorities. [/quote]

Columbia remains TO[/quote]

If Columbia wasn’t in nyc, it would be struggling to be a t30

If nyu wasn’t in nyc it would be a t100
