      The valedictorian at my sons school turned down an admit to MIT to take the presidential scholarship to Rutgers. After that he wound up at Cambridge then spent a year and a half at the Cern supercollider and he's now at Harvard for a phd. So the moral is it's just an undergrad degree it's what you do with the rest of your life that counts........

  • @jonathancohen2351
    @jonathancohen2351 Год назад +20

    I've heard there is a lot of pressure and competitiveness to get into elite clubs at Harvard. The MIT fraternities have a selection process that is looking for a good personality fit, but there isn't much of a status difference between them. It's mainly a way to find a group of people you want to live with and interact with the most. A lot of other people want nothing to do with the frats, and that's fine too.

    Harvard has to keep its classes easier so that it’s legacy admits and athletes don’t flunk out. MIT does not give any preference in admissions to legacies or athletes.

      I note that my children are legacies since both my wife and I graduated from MIT. While they certainly had a privileged upbringing and attended a top high school, none of them had a “silver spoon” or anything handed to them. All three had to do chores, and all three had part-time jobs in high school (full-time during the summer). While we paid for all necessities, if they wanted to buy something that they desired rather than needed (or take a trip with friends), they paid themselves from savings (or sometimes we would split the cost). We also told them explicitly not to expect to inherit anything for us. We provided them with the resources to get a good education, and they should be able to do well in life without a huge inheritance.

    • @petertu7359
      @petertu7359 8 месяцев назад +4

      One last comment: None of my 3 kids got into MIT. This is despite the fact that all were top students at one of the top public high schools in the state. My oldest scored 1600 on the SAT, and the other two scored in the high 1500s. As I mentioned above, both parents were MIT alumni, but that did not help them at all.
