Observations from interviewing recent college graduates

Who said that test scores = intelligence? When someone posted about kids being “smarter,” test scores did not occur to me as a measure.

There are many kids at Ivies these days who do not come from a privileged background but have shown they can do the work, or contribute to campus in some way. Some struggle their first year, compared to those who did go to excellent private or public high schools, but they also tend to catch up and the fact that they are not jaded helps.

I don’t think we should paint ANY school’s grads with a broad brush. And to me it is obvious that grads from many different schools will demonstrate excellence and work ethic in the workplace. College choices are often driven by finances and some of the best and brightest are at state U’s or schools that give merit. Some of the best workers may also come from Ivies.

This thread is just a set up for negativity.
