i know a lot of really smart people who have gone to good schools and i respect them completely bc i could never have pulled that off, but i’ve also known people who went to good schools who just weren’t that smart. they may have been able to make it there with an extremely strong work ethic and a talent for memorization and testing and knowing what teachers want, but they aren’t funny, they aren’t intellectually curious, they aren’t kind, they aren’t insightful, they aren’t good writers, they can’t think critically or creatively, what have you.
