[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Seems a huge paradox. If entry to Beauvoir is largely predicated on sibship, legacy, bucks, socioeconomic status (big donors) how can this be the most gifted group (gifted refers to intellect). Bright, perhaps but not necessarily gifted.[/quote] There is no paradox. MANY slots in Beauvoir are given based on sibship, legacy, bucks, socioeconomic status. The REST of the slots are given to the super bright. The ones who end up being the brightest from St. Albans are also the latter slots from Beauvoir.[/quote] Is there research that supports that being a sibling or legacy immediately means you must not be as bright? Why do people assume that these kids must not be super bright?[/quote]
