<p>Ah, okay. I understand your argument. </p>
<p>As for Ehrenheich, as I said, she was writing a tongue-in-cheek piece (the back of the magazine, one page article, not an analytical one. You are right that both law school and med school admissions are very grade-driven. I suspect that Ehrenheich was thinking more of the business world (which is what she has explored).</p>
<p>I did think the article carried a sense of “the world is their oyster” so why worry? But we also know that students who spend all their time studying are also described as not making the most of their college experiences and the opportunities for making friends/networking.</p>
