Let's face it though - Harvard is not where the smart people go to school. It is for the privileged and the monied. I worked with a guy from MIT. He was from a wealthy family and everyone figured he must be a super genius. He was not. In fact he was a prick with entitlement issues. But - He went to MIT......
It's a crock.
Although the privileged DO go to Harvard, you are otherwise WAY off base.
I know several current students and 2 new ones (this fall) that earned their way into Harvard academically.
One of my nephews might attend in 2019, but that's a football thing. He's smaht AND big.
As for MIT?
Those are ALL brainiacs. You can be as dumb as Kennedy at Harvard, but not at MIT.
Of course, book smarts don't always translate. And that may be what you've witnessed.
But that school isn't holding anyone's hand, that's for sure.
