[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why people are being hard on OP. It’s actually a good cautionary tale for all who are gunning for top 15. When I went to a top 15 30 years ago, once you got there there were plenty of kids who didn’t take themselves too seriously. That may be less the case today - I don’t know but it’s worth exploring and considering that even if you get in you might not like it. [/quote]

OP here again. YES to this.  DH “doesn’t understand the problem” because when he went to a top 5 school in the 80s, he had tons of time to go out at night in Boston or New York — with all his dorm mates. He was summa cum laude and says they went to the bars several times a week, played intramural sports, went to the museum, traveled in weekend to pro sports games in the northeast.

So far, kid detects almost none of this. Ive been to their campus - I see what they mean[/quote]

Ummmmm that was 40 years ago.  Kids that are stem majors....forget it...they have 40 more years of progress in the field to start to try to master

But the same holds for other fields as well.   There is never less knowledge gained ...it builds on itself and there is more to learn.[/quote]
