Academic Struggles In College

I have wondered the same thing. I might have occasionally been the “stick in the mud” in my lack of enthusiasm for any student attending a university where they are coming in as part of the lowest 25% of admitted students, or lowest 50% for premed students. I do not think that we are doing students a favor when they are accepted to academically tough schools where they are near the bottom of the incoming class.

No matter how you set the cutoff, there will always be a bottom 25% of the class.

I’ve always been a fan of the big fish, little pond. But of course if everyone starts doing that, then the little ponds will be full of big fish.
