| [quote]Best comment by a tour guide (at Stanford!) "I don't know how I got in. I was really lucky. You don't have to have perfect stats. I didn't." Charming, funny, self-effacing guy. I know how he got in.[quote]
This made me smile because when I visited Stanford as a prospective student in 1980 my tour guide was the exact opposite - he actually told us that we would probably NOT get accepted and had an attitude that it was really a waste of his time to show us around since we weren't smart enough to get in. I did get accepted but didn't go there because the visit had left me with an impression that the students were all stuck up and arrogant. |
