<p>How do guys manage to get A's in such an extremely rigorous demanding environment all the time? How do you keep up with everything? What strategies do you guys use?</p>
<p>I think it rhymes with “cheating” ;)</p>
<p>Actually, most of those folks are naturally smart. But they also study a bunch and have a zillion extracurriculars. Probably not much free time.</p>
<p>Is it worth it? Eh, if you ask me, I’d say not. Ivy schools are good for connections. Apart from that, there are other schools where you can get equivalent educations. </p>
<p>Besides. It’s not where you go to college, but what you do with what you learn there that matters.</p>
<p>By not sleeping.</p>
<p>or maybe grade inflation?
Anyway, I do not think they get all As. The average GPA in top selective colleges is closer to 3.5 than to 4</p>
