[quote=Anonymous]At these super elite schools I think it’s more about the personalities of each kid who attends. I had two very smart nephews who went to Harvard and Duke for their undergrad. But personality-wise they were quite different - the one who went to Harvard struggled to adjust there and while he hasn’t had a bad career by any means, it seems like he’s holding back on his own potential. My nephew who went to Duke however, was better at adjusting to the rigor and expectations that came with being a Duke student and graduate, and is now extremely successful for his age (and any age for that matter). Unfortunately it’s very hard to predict how any kid will do in an elite school environment.[/quote]
