Guest dada_rocks Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Our metrics of talent and merit at this stage of admissions are perhaps too constricted. It might be liberating not to be trapped by them entirely. One should not minimise the disappointment of not getting into one’s top-choice institution; brand names do matter. On the other hand, the course of life and the structure of opportunities will be a lot more variegated than you think at this moment. It is heretical to say this, but there is often a sense in which students at the very top are not necessarily more interesting than the second or third lot. They might have the safety of the brand name behind them, an assurance that doors will open for them more easily, but as Montesquieu famously said, security often breeds timidity as well. Will they have the capacity for risk and invention that you have? They may scamper along a well-laid road, but you might do something more precious: make a road simply by walking on your path. http://www.indianexpress.com/story/326249.html
