[quote=Anonymous]If you ask professors and employers, they'll tell you that students at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton today are generally not the same caliber as students from 20 or 30 years ago. Some of it is generational. But mostly it's the admissions priorities today, which largely benefit a few select groups of students (rich, private schools, athletes, FGLI) and disadvantage many other very talented and exceptional students. Stanford is a little different. It's still very elite, but the defining spirit of Stanford today is greed. That's what you're getting with your average Stanford grad now. None of these four schools are thrumming with intellectual energy. But MIT mostly continues to do MIT things. There aren't a lot of billionaire kids yearning to do the Science Core at MIT. The upside to the state of HYPS today is that there are a lot of the other schools getting the best and brightest now, which is good. [/quote]
