Two guys who got into Stanford and now have an article getting noticed because they graduated from Stanford explain why being a graduate of Stanford isn't really all that cool and that everyone else's kids should probably not go to Stanford.
Nothing against Stanford, its just kind of an ironic piece.
Also, I can't access the full manifesto at the time of posting this comment...
- pesmhey 8y agoThey address that within the manifesto: A Caveat: We did graduate from college, and we did benefit from having friends, taking cool classes, and acquiring ideas through osmosis. It is easy for us to suggest skipping college without actually having done so. Again, the takeaway from this section is not that you should or should not skip college; rather, don’t make that choice on autopilot. It's a fantastic read.
