If you have the kind of unhooked kid who can put together the credentials and achievements to get accepted into Brown nowadays, you have the kind of kid who is going to continue to be a high achiever during and after their 4 years on College Hill

[b]Agree, say this all the time, the student bodies at ivies and top schools are interchangeable,[/b] look how many shotgun nowadays. It took one week before my Val from top school in state to realize she was one of many now. She was always used to being the standout everywhere as the go-getter, now they all are and much harder to separate from the pack. Positive is growth and being challenged. [/quote]

Can confirm! Both at different ivies that are “so different” on Dcum yet are basically the same despite one next to a city and one in a town. These students are used to being either the very best or one of the top dozen or so (feeder HS), then they all have to try to get highGPAs for law, med, phD, Jane Street, Google. They don’t merely seek any law or med, they want top ones. They know a below-average 3.5 can get into law or med from an ivy, but they want top-5 law and top-10 med. hence they all aim 3.9 or bust. Most have never had a B on a report card yet most will get at them in college. Yet mine have found more collaborative students than their private non-feeder high school that was a bit cut throat.

This is so spot on and 100% correct, it’s not to get into any med or law school, it’s aiming for the top all over again, or the coveted jobs as you said. The first B’s are a shock to the system. And I also agree that despite all this the student body is quite collaborative [/quote]
