[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew someone would respond with the lines you are quoting.  Of course everyone has a chance to do well and find love.   What I have said it the great majority of those at the top have had great opportunities throughout their lives and each opportunity has created others.  The Supreme Court Justices all went to Harvard and Yale, coincidence?  The majority of those going to the best universities benefited from private school educations and households that create learning environments.  It all builds.  Its about having the best opportunity.   I am speaking of the  majorities, not the outliers that you are citing.

Exactly how may TJ grads did not go to AAP as a %?   A very small majority I would believe.  [/quote]

So why, exactly is Harvard and Yale the 'Best Schools?"  I'd but some of my college professors up against theirs any day, and I went to a very good in-state University.  The fact that the Supreme Court justices all went to those schools is more about status and money than actual education.

My father was managing partner in a very successful law firm before he retired.  He went to an average university, and not even the top law schools in the country.  He was the boss of all the Harvard/Yale grads.  My sister was in GT when she was a child, I was not.  She went to Vanderbelt, I chose the University of Tennessee. We are both in IT.   I am in management in the company I work for, and she works on the help desk at hers.

If you are good at what you do, it doesn't matter where you do it, unless you are snobbishly stuck on a name.[/quote]
