@austinmshauri , there are many good students who don’t sit around having intellectual conversations in their spare time. Many from our school who went on to our fine state Universities. They studied, they got good grades, and they liked to talk about boyfriends, celebrities, fashion, tv shows. At her highly selective college, my daughter had the opportunity to eat dinner with her classmates from a small class she was in, but she stopped attending because all they wanted to talk about was drinking and sports.
