- ramraj07 4y agoI’m well past those days so don’t take it as a treatise on my own abilities but my experiences since have not suggested that these schools used any good metric in choosing students. They merely selected for the successful and hardworking folks. The latter trait is great but the former is not. If anything a phd is training for facing failure. I also submitted subject GRE scores which in retrospect clearly differentiated people who will attain academic success and people who won’t. The universities literally said they won’t consider the scores even if submit them. Also, ideas are not cheap. Sure you have to execute on them as well, but ideas are not cheap at all. At least not the good ones.
