Someone who’s insanely smart and wants to do physics clearly won’t attend Stern; it’s a business school. Just because it has a higher quality applicant pool grade and score-wise doesn’t mean anyone’s smarter or dumber. Every school has different programs. People in LSP have different interests from other schools. Different does not mean worse.
Also, calling every guy gay in one of the largest universities in the world is a bit naïve, haha.
