[quote=Anonymous]23:28 why did you leave the Midwest? Did DC offer more, was there more opportunity and competition? It is the same for students. Unless you are speaking of the top few public schools in Md and VA there is no comparison to the top 6 or 7 DC privates. Year after year graduates of those schools out preform publics. Moreover Another Midwestern poster's reference to high level stem classes in 9th grade is narrow. Are you saying that only scientific excellence counts? Do you actually believe that? Any finally the poster that went to three colleges apparently had some trouble graduating or is a fraud. No one has ever called Columbia easy. Maybe Harvard, maybe Brown but not Columbia. Their strict requirements for a degree which includes hours of forced study of all sorts of world renowned scholars has won the school global recognition. If you found that easy you should be teaching at Oxford. I guess the thousands of middle of the class kids from east coast privates and publics that attend Michigan and Indiana really excell upon arriving in the Midwest and become fiercely competitive.
