[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently a lot of people in these threads have never been to an ivy league school. I got a PhD in an ivy league school and taught classes to undergraduates there, as well as sat in some classes with graduate and undergraduate students (some large lectures are blended with a phd seminar component tacked on). I can assure you that there are MANY *average* students in the ivies, and that many of them are not rich or entitled. How did they get in? Well, I'm ballparking the ivies taking in 20k students per year and [b]it just turns out that we don't have 20k stellar people in the united states each year[/b]. Go figure.[/quote]

Apparently a lot of people don’t have to take statistics to get an Ivy League PhD.

20,000 students out of 3.7 million graduating each year... that’s a definition of “average” I was never taught.[/quote]

Actually one of my phd concentrations was in statistics. I've taken seven probability and statistics courses. And I'm telling you that the ivy league is unable to recruit 20k stellar people in the united states each year. I saw it with my own eyes over and over again.[/quote]

Lol. Sorry, I find this impossible to believe.  Someone with a Ph D “concentration” in statistics would not use the word “average” in that cavalier and vernacular fashion.[/quote]

I don't care if you believe I have a PhD with a concentration in statistics or not. You're just a housewife on a mom website[/quote]

And you are a liar who doesn't know what "average" means.  Tells are tells!  That's why lying is hard and best left to the gifted.[/quote]
