The students at Wash U are smarter than those at Michigan, and it’s pretty noticeable. If you’re the type of student who gets into Wash U, you’ll find probably half of the student body to be fairly mediocre. However, intelligence doesn’t really bear out in your day to day interactions with people because, as my experiences visiting schools and my friends who did choose to go to HYPS, most people won’t “act smart” on a daily basis.

I have a couple of questions about this. If the students at Wash U are smarter than those at Michigan by a “pretty noticeable” amount, then are you saying far more than half the student body at Michigan is fairly mediocre? What does someone do to “act smart” on a daily basis?</p>

Also, Wash U isn’t Harvard or Yale and from my experiences with it, isn’t a particularly intellectual campus so the whole student body things probably bears out even less.

Besides being a tortured and difficult to understand sentence, I would love to know how you have a clue that WUSTL is not a “paticularly intellectual campus”. What nonsense.

Additionally, the professors at Michigan are far superior to those at Wash U, so if you go to office hours consistently you can stand to gain a lot more from them.

You have to be joking. Your evidence?</p>
