I believe that for personal growth... the environment you live in matters... your surrounding matters... the people you are surrounded with 24x7 matters.... and that's why i wanna get into the best universities to surround myself with the people who actually think outside the box... I wanna share my ideas with them, wanna know their ideas... we can collab and make bigger ideas... THATS MY DREAM... and i'm currently working for it
woah I’m first, never thought I’d see the day. I think one issue is that this is just human nature, we tend to go for things that look exclusive, cough cough the ivy league schools. They look so exclusive because not as many people can just get in. Not saying they’re bad, just saying that even with low acceptance rates like 3% people are still applying, some even knowing that it’s out of their reach
People tend to apply to top universities because of the ability to increase their earning potential. I do agree that people should be realistic in their endeavors, but people who are borderline capable of competing should definitely shoot for the moon because if they fail, they would at least land amongst the stars. I can name a few people who actually were admitted into top universities on this principle alone. I also wonder if this speech would have been given years ago. Cough, cough.
I mean what she said is right, the actual changes in the country is not by some big high reject colleges, it's from people. And most people aren't gonna be in high reject colleges but at high accepting colleges. People should make it so that mediocre or lower level colleges gets equal or good funding. Maybe by other high reject colleges, people or from government.

A “good college” has “good funding”. There is a direct relationship between the two. This applies to secondary education too because the ability to succeed in college is developed in secondary school. Underfunded and undemanding secondary education dooms all but the brilliant and dilligent students to marginal success in college. But getting into college is not as hard as graduating from that college. (Graduation rate for public universities is 62%) Many colleges have instituted writing requirements to raise students’ poor writing skills. (There is a reason they call it 13th grade.) Regional Public Universities, even major State Universities need more funding. Today, public Universities’ are teaching core classes in auditoriums with 1200 students augmented with teaching assistants. Each student paying the same price per credit hour as the engineering class with 30 students. Why ? Because of poor state funding. Universities are recruiting foreign and out of state students. Why? Because foreigners pay full price and have no chance of “state resident” rates. Also, fewer in-state residents are accepted because they are being sacrificed for increased out-of-state student revenues. Finally, if more colleges were endowed with the same funding as "Harvard, MIT, Yale and Stanford”, they wouldn’t be so exclusive anymore.
Our people whether young or older need to hear this informative and insightful presentation especially for people who view that prestige is the only valuable existence in the world ⭐
Yes the academic knowledge is accessible in public colleges and not much of a difference with top universities but It’s about getting a job after graduation, employers are looking for big names on the CVs
Ivies aren't schools. They're networking clubs for rich people. A good college is one that effectively instructs their students and doesn't behave in an insular manner. Agreed with Cecilia here, upward mobility is the mark of a good school, not how insular and snotty they are. A school's research is meaningless to students. I went to an R1 school, the research funding had zero impact on the me. In fact, it likely had a negative effect as the supposed prestigious "professors" were completely uninterested in actually teaching.
Awe. I remember CC. I wish you all the best girl, what happened was wrong. Either way we see things, there was always someone there to show us the way. I hope you can reciprocate with me when I say, we fn survived. We live to embrace another day and we love our enemies just as much as we love our self and others. Above all I believe in God and Jesus and the holy spirit. Finally in everything I see growth, hope and love. You guys are doing a great job. Much love 💜
Totally, those schools serve a need and should get funding. However, they aren't as good as ivy league schools, and the average student isn't as smart. I'm sorry, but that is reality.
The US incarcerates more than any other country in the world. Shouldn't there be a way for all of those people to afford and have access to a way out...?
A very good question and interesting delivery but in a capitalist society as the US... this is how the game goes.. its called competition!! And money talks..
God loves you and takes care of you. The biggest loss that a person loses in this life is to live and die while he does not know God or His Messenger, Muhammad, the last of the prophets and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions, from intelligence. Before you believe in something or not, study it and try to understand it well, and then you have the choice.

If she had good grades, she could have gotten in to an elite school. They have need-blind scholarship policies. But she did not work hard in High School, and so, should not be entitled to go to an elite school.

Isn’t that donation funds base on people’s freedom of choice? Isn’t it just your money your decision to make?? Why this talker want private donations to be equal distribution?
That's not what she's saying. Yes, there have been huge donation spread across many universities, but most large donations go to prestigious schools. She is suggesting that the donations should go to schools that actually need it, like your regional university. If a donor has money to give, give it to someone who needs it the most and can make the largest impact with the additional funding.
@@catatonicbug7522 I know what you saying but please, don’t use poverty as an excuse for everything and everywhere! I just believe that your money your decision! Those places are not getting good enough donations do have a reason in it, can’t blame others

It was incredible, thanks for that deep and thought-provoking speech
Yes, it’s time to change our perspective about higher education. Amen to every single word she said.

As a high school student, I totally agree. I'm kind of disillusioned by these top private schools.
This Is probably the best channel i ve discovered this month!

Great Ted talk. Highly rejective schools don’t necessarily create highly successful adults.
I understood the way she feels.
Very touching 😕💯

One that doesn't cost 40 grand a year
I hear Bard College is quite good
I’ve been to both types of schools. As a disabled person, I felt much more supported in the CSU system.

Academic excellence? College is about inclusion, not education.
If she had good grades, she could have gotten in to an elite school. They have need-blind scholarship policies. But she did not work hard in High School, and so, should not be entitled to go to an elite school.
A good college is ones without wokist teachers and teaches traditional subjects, not intersectionality, gender or CRT.
