From Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Columbia.
I was expecting to be utterly blown away by their genius and intellectualism. I no longer expect anything from Ivy Leaguers.
Don't get me wrong: I've met plenty of bona fide geniuses from these schools. However, I've also met plenty of folks who struck me as being about as bright as the average person at the state school that I went to.
For every incredibly bright, scholarship-needing Ivy Leaguer, there's at least one priveleged student who's there through the graces of a legacy or an astonishing amount of family wealth.
