[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this signaling still valid today, if it ever was to employers, future life partners etc, or has it been severely diluted because of how these elite colleges admit their undergraduate classes today[/quote]

I think that the T20 admissions system, at least, is so strange and chaotic that maybe graduating from a T20 will soon be a sign of anxiety, depression, narcissistic personality disorder or other personality disorder.

How can kids who started nonprofits at the age of 12 just to get into Harvard grow up to be friendly, mentally healthy people?

And I think that the kids who have the kinds of national honors, international honors and published papers that appeal to the T20 schools have been groomed to be abused.

Jeffrey Epstein had a close relationship with MIT. He groomed girls to be prostitutes.

I don't think that's a coincidence.

When MIT is saying, "We want applicants to come in with published research papers, or international science competition awards," that's a way of saying, "You have to have to have an insanely, dangerously close relationship with a coach, faculty advisor or other plugged-in adult. You have to say yes to every request that adult makes, because, otherwise, how will you get the support you need to do research in a real lab, publish a paper, or travel overseas to participate in an international competition? You better be a good student geisha and like it, or stick with your state university's honors program. Don't try applying to us if you just have so so extracurriculars because you refused to sleep with your mentor or put up with your mentor's constant verbal abuse."

So, MIT is just an institutional version of Jeffrey Epstein.

Yes, a research in high school?  yea right.

However my daughter was very normal and never pushed.
Got in #19 school. Fully charged for a new life in college unlike many burned out and stressed kids.
