Gladwell Warns Against Harvard for STEM Students
Originally Published 15 days ago — by Yahoo
Malcolm Gladwell advises students interested in STEM to avoid Harvard if they are unlikely to be in the top quarter of their class, as success in STEM is more about relative performance than the institution itself. He emphasizes that being at the top of your class boosts confidence and motivation, and suggests workplaces should focus on class rank rather than college prestige when hiring.
