Smart, but not nice

This opinion from the Washington Post talks about how May 1 is the deadline for high school seniors to tell their colleges of choice they will be attending in the fall. The author is a first year law student at Yale law school. He talks about how our generation of college students are smarter, have volunteered the most, and seem to have more of a voice in todays issues, than previous generations. But he says that all the kids who work their butts off to get into ivy league schools usually arn't nice people at all. he wonders if the current presidential candidates are these types of people, who put on a front that get them into their colleges and careers of choice, but are just not genually nice people. I think he hit the nail on the head with this opinion. The more i meet super smart people, at LSU and other Universities, the more i agree with the author that the kids who have never made any less than an A in their lives, volunteer but only to rise to the top, and revolve everything around "résumé building" are usually selfish, cocky, mean. This article was great. I completely agree with the author and he makes his case very convincing because he writes like he is highly educated. I recommend anyone to read this if you have ever felt the same i do. That the ivy league smart kids are really moral peices of crap.
