@Jamrock411 , that’s a really cool guy. Nice to learn about him.
The sad truth is that many students have bought into the idea that the only Harvard can make them the next Bill Gates, or the next Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs. Or only Georgetown can produce a Bill Clinton.
I don’t think I could convince my school valedictorian, school state champion to consider local universities because one C.E.O out of the 400 didn’t go to the usual suspects.
The 45,000 applicants to Harvard are still going to continue.
In my personal opinion I think companies should expand their horizons a bit. Then maybe students would be more open to considering other schools instead of the usual.
Some kids cant go to Ivy League because they cant afford them, or their not Barack Obama’s daughter. Or didn’t raise $250,000 to build a school in Africa.
That’s why I was commenting throughout this whole time.
I would have hoped the author would have addressed the concerns of students on why they maybe avoid no-name schools. But didn’t and that why I brought up this point.
