Things have gotten dramatically worse since then.
- hunterpayne 7mo agoI knew a couple of McArthur Genius grant recipients (they were students like me) when I was in college. I wouldn't put any of them among the top most intelligent students I went to school with. The way they are chosen isn't exactly bad but it doesn't end up with giving the grants to "geniuses". If you aren't in one of the top most competitive fields, its more about applying and getting the right recommendations. If you get one in math or CS, then yes...that's very impressive. Professor Cotton (sp?) isn't in one of those fields.
- MengerSponge 7mo agoBro. You don't apply for the McArthur. And why would you go out of your way to misspell her name? What do you gain by that aside from just looking petulant?
