In my experience at one of these so-called "selective" institutions the only real difference between students at selective institutions and the rest of the pack are slightly higher HS GPAs, more impressive standardized test scores, and extracurricular activities that affluent parents could afford to provide. <br /><br />I'm not sure they are any more mature or committed to education than many of the students at a typical state school.

For my upcoming vacation I am hoping to take a lesson from a colleague/researcher. I am, at least, inspired by her dedication, though I doubt I will be able to go as cold turkey as this: http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2010/12/08/i-am-offline-on-email-sabbatical-from-december-9-january-12.html John,
