And in 10 years he'll try to achieve his dream through his daughter by forcing her to apply there.

i felt the same way about Harvard. i chose Concordia instead.

Me too, I went to Université du Québec à Chicoutimi instead.

Banning you for this would just give it credence. I'll leave it here instead, so more people can mock you.

Harvard does suck!!!

"...Gladwell convincingly shows that it is better to be a Big Fish in a Small Pond than a Small Fish in a Big Pond. Meaning, if you are brainy enough in math and science to get accepted at both Harvard and another less prestigious school, but not brainy enough to dominate your field, you should probably go to the less prestigious school. For one thing, you will be less likely to drop out in frustration. For another, a study he cites shows that when it comes to hiring, “the best students from mediocre schools were almost always a better bet than good students from the very best schools.”

“The Big Pond,” Gladwell adds, explaining the effect of being in a classroom surrounded by the super intelligent when you are only extremely intelligent, “takes really bright students and demoralizes them.”

You don't think jetlag is a factor?

I'm sure employers will hire the guy coming from the less prestigious before a guy from Harvard.

Yeah but Europeans are back in their natural cycle, which probably gives them super powers.

Figure skating, Luge, and Women Hockey (Russia vs Japan)

Maybe, just maybe, part of the reason why Russia chose so many players from the KHL is because of the jetlag?

I read the book...and that wasn't the argument...he said that by certain measures of success, a top student at an average school was better off than an average student at a top school...(and typically, these two students would be at the same level, so a very bright student could choose to be an average student at Harvard or a top student at a lesser school).

It's an interesting argument. One of his measures was the number of publication in economic journals (for economists of course)...

Then why did they take so many Khlers to Vancouver? Or maybe they are taking so many Khlers because the Russian depth in the NHL isn't very good.
