[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all, disabuse yourself of the notion that students who went to lower ranked schools "worked less hard." Students opt for lower ranked schools for many reasons that have nothing to do with their brains or work ethic - financial, geographic, athletic, etc. Perhaps they do have connections at the firms you mentioned, or perhaps they actually work harder than your son -- higher GPAs, more impressive extracurriculars, leadership roles, relevant work experience, research, etc. [/quote] This. And perhaps it is easier for a really hardworking bright kids to stand out at a place like those you are referring too, if they put in the time to get to know professors or whoever writes their recs, rather than at the place your son goes. Less intense competition around for those who want to move mountains. [/quote]
