[quote=Anonymous]I also was under challenged at my mediocre public HS, and in some ways I think it's what made me excel in college (harvard-- doubt I'd even get in these days, but back in the late 80s harvard took a risk on me, a kid with good test scores but uneven grades and extracurrics). When I got to college it was like being in heaven: so much to soak up, so much to learn. I lapped it up, and graduated in the top of my class. I honestly doubt I'd have done so had I not arrived eager for a challenge. Most of my peers from fancy prep schools did not do as well academically-- frankly I think because they were burned out by the time they arrived.[/quote]
