@ivy_roadmap: At top colleges, you’ll see intellectual OLYMPIANS When the best high player basketball players were put against the worst player in the NBA, they were WRECKED. The athletic gap is HUGE. Now just imagine how much bigger the intellectual gap is. That’s benefit of going to a T20 — you’re surrounding yourself with the smartest people and learning from them. That’s one of the best ways to improve. See the FULL conversation on Episode 9 of the “Go Ivy or Go Free” Podcast w/ Ruben Stephen @Ruben S

I think this is particularly true in the grad school population . You have to be on your toes 24/7

I’m a recent MIT grad, stop the glazing. Yes, it’s an amazing place. Yes, there are many talented people there. Yes, I’m incredibly proud to have gone there. But intelligence is also a function of effort, and I don’t like how this video frames intelligence as some special trait

This is so true! Freshman year at a top Ivy, the new students were literally expressing a kind of vulnerable exhausted relief at finally being around people as smart as them, because they could finally just relax and be themselves, whereas in high school and earlier they had been treated as weird.

Another thing is that it takes a certain amount of intelligence to pick up the fact that your counterpart has insane raw intellectual talent. A lot of folks wouldn’t know unless it was very explicitly demonstrated.

MIT ain't THAT special. Go work in PE, IB, specialized part of the Gov't or Military (especially classified workd) and you'll see the same.

Don’t think much of MIT , they all work for entrepreneurs and investors, there’s only one IQ test, how much money you have ,amongst academic people I have found the med school and law school students are the smartest cause they make the most money after graduation ,if you don’t include athletes. The top dogs which are the entrepreneurs and investors ,may or may not have finished college.
