<p>if you smoke/drink, then it means you give in to peer pressure easily and/or don’t care about being healthy; it doesn’t mean you are dumb and won’t go to an ivy league college.</p>
<p>Maybe if you smoke/drink you’re the one that’s doing the peer pressure and that shows leadership qualities - thus, you’re more likely to get into an ivy.</p>
<p>I laughed when I saw the title of this thread…
I laughed even more at some of these posts…
God you guys are funny.</p>
<p>oh god this topic has degenerated even more from the original intent.</p>
<p>it’s common in my school to see kids who go to cornell going to the local party, having a few beers and enjoying themselves.</p>
<p>It’s only in movies that they portray genius’ as little asian kids with large glasses. atleast in my school it’s a bit different, in fact all the smart kids are quite popular as they run for president, treasurer,etc.</p>
<p>Maybe Ivy’s should reject smokers for hurting themselves and not apparently being to bright in long-term reasoning.</p>
