Hm, now you gave a characterization of that, I can answer that I’m certain there will be some who’ll meet your characterization in any good school you look at. I think most undergrads at my school are pretty normal, just good students…but there’s the share of top students who’re just REALLY REALLY academic and naturally into it, the kinds you cannot possibly see not getting a Ph.D., and destined to go into academia.

And Seiken, I think having her specify what she means is a good idea because while I certainly agree it’s horrible to toss a term like that around lightly, one might as well figure out what she’s asking if a legitimate answer is to be given.
