[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a very real phenomenon. The hit that you take to your confidence and sense of your own abilities can be very hard at a top school. It’s best to be where you are challenged but also fit in. This happened to me in college and I often wonder what my path would have been like at a different school.[/quote] This absolutely happened to me. Was in the gifted program/honors and AP classes throughout high school. Went to a top college and had a very difficult time. It hit my self esteem in the worst way. I wonder how I would have done if I had chosen to go to one of the middle colleges I had gotten into (still great colleges) and felt successful there instead of struggling. [/quote]
