@@bjstudios7706 who asked?
@@mszak8869 It's a statement. Not a response
I nearly went to Harvard but due to my family not having enough money, I went to Penn State and honestly I am glad I did.
This is something I'll politely disagree. These colleges are at the top because of the funding they receive primarily. Since these univ receive top students (agreed with the video), it has a good atmosphere.
But it is the funding and also the long heritage. Just having academically bright students won't mean a damn thing if they don't get enough exposure
Your videos are great, and i like them. You provide good information in a relatively short video. But after watching a lot of your videos, it’s really starting to annoy me when you continue the loop with “and” or “but”. Im sure you can loop them with other phrases and those two are really starting to annoy me for whatever reason 😂
having been to two universities, one is in the top 10 and the other in the top 40. i like the top 40... the classes were useful and more practical than the top 10 uni that i attended during the freshman year.
“Harvard doesn’t create geniuses, they enroll geniuses”
Seeing my Prime Minister(the first man when Novel winner is mentioned,🇪🇹Ethiopian PM) gives me big goosebumps 🥰😍🥰😍
A kid from my highschool was dumb as rocks but he always did his homework. He got into MIT. He wasn't a genius at all.
I know I'm far from genius but when we went to middle and highschool, I created a company, sold it 5 years later while we were in freshman year of college. I then joined the mitary because I got bored of how success just came to easily. Now 4 years later, I got bored, I'm going back to finish a degree and he's working in industry. I'd say I've had much more success than he has and he went to a prestigious school. Goes to show that if you want to get into a top school, all you gotta do is your homework.
He did all his homework and aced exams.
I didn't do any homework, skipped classes, built my first company, but aced exams. People like him now work for me, sooooooooo lmaoooooo
@@nickgerr1991 that sounds to exaggerated even if true
@@munkhbayarkhatanbaatar7255 all of it true. I'm transferring to psu in the fall. My company operated within the realm of esports. No exaggerations. That's my life.
Bruh you got me...
My high school teacher once told me that where you go to university hardly matters in terms of education, but it will matter when forming connections. Which lets be honest, is probably more valuable than most degrees.
I agree with this comment more than this video, pretty sure this is a great overgeneralization of prestigious universities.
I agree with you. This is a fact. The connections and fast track Harvard can offer....
I think that only really goes for certain subjects. If I wanted to become a general practitioner from Harvard Med and go not care which hospital I go to or how much I earn as long as I have the job, connections seem kinda useless. If you wanna be the top of the top in medicine, Harvard makes sense. Not for someone wh just wants to get a job
@@yasmine_is_a_unicorn6098 connections are always useful maybe you wont use it but knowing someone like bill gates wouldn't hurt. Plus some people get jobs easier from going to a known school (aka ivy leagues)
@@beansforlief5703 I guess that’s fair
That's what my father have always told us from childhood that if such colleges take intelligent students then ofcourse they will get better results. That's not education that's business.
He always says that if they are really great then why not take below average students and work hard on them to make them successful.
Like exactly to prove their "undisputable" greatness let them take below average students and train them to be able to compete with the smart ones. Like u said it's not education it's business 😹
You have said it all.
because this is university, not high school or secondary school. Student at this age can be old enough to decide independently how they do with their study life. Schools from 1st till 12th grade taught you how to be a good student. And it is not school fault that you are not succeed in studying. Its yourself to blame. If prestigious universities lower the standard requirements to let all kinds of students in. Then where is fairness here? Is the effort of good students thrown away?? And actually there is nothing called intelligent student, to be corrected, there is only hard-working student
@@miatran9808 Getting high marks never tells you the quality of student. Ofcourse u can say they have no other option but to give seats to those students coz there should be a cut off or benchmark.
Ok for a second let us accept ur view that this is the university and will obviously take smart students. Then why call them best or world class?? And why boast of having successful alumni. Isn't it obvious that this would happen??
And most univ. have seats for children of management or seats given to high donation giver. if they really want smart students then why give seats for money?
@KingKami That’s partially right. If you were taught by someone like j Robert Oppenheimer at Berkeley you would’ve gotten a much better education or if you were taught by the likes of resnik, Halliday,Srinivasa ramanujan, Ada Lovelace,grace hopper, David hillbert, Willard Gibbs, Charles Babbage, Stephen hawking,Albert Einstein, Erwin shrodödinger,Niels Bohr, and many more. On top of that you will have access to research facilities and programs you wouldn’t have at a worse college. More of related but the actual education is better for instance if you took math 55 at Harvard you’re Knowledge on mathematics would be much deeper than if you just took your average college class.

Yes, but the university itself is a great networking environment because everyone there is extremely qualified, and that will make it easy for successful businesses and ideas to be born there.
My dad always tell me that
If the mark to join the school is high then the mark then the mark going out is gonna be high
that's not completely true, it's just chance, you can get a similar environment where greatness is formed from "less qualified" indivuals.
@@elijah3320 It probably is, on average richer students get better grades because of tutoring and private schools. Meaning they get into prestigious universities and they are a lot more likely to have links to a big industry (where they got the money) than other universities’s students. So you’d be more likely to make links to said industries.
You also have a better employability because people like seeing the skilled university name and they believe it means a lot.
But the universities itself might not teach well

No thanks, take me to MIT

@@user-dt7ur1br7y Stanford MIT and duke are not in ivy league but yeah they are still very prestigious and highly ranked
Mit is the highest ranked no??
In my opinion, MIT is better because it is an institution. Intitutions provide greater depth of learning than universities because they also teach their masteries of their field instead of only binging books.
Well, as a Harvard student, I can say one thing that matters the most is actually connections. With these connections you literally secure your future and another thing is that you are surrounded by geniuses which creates the pressure to do better and you improve with those people. Also, Harvard classes are no joke. It is really hard to study here, especially if you are a STEM major. Last semester I took classes that had 10 hour per day homework. So, it is not for everyone and it is tough. Is it still overrated? Yes, but not to a point that you can underestimate its value

This is just a blatantly untrue hypothetical lol...you can put music and stock images over anything and people will believe it.
you just described all of these type of channels
agreed. but the reason people graduating from harvard are getting nobel prizes is because the requirements that you need to get accepted are already high enough that being able to do that means any education would result in you getting a nobel prize, regardless of what the university has to offer
@@atanki5682 not exactly. A lot of Nobel Prize winners often develop their theories and work with previous scientific Nobel prize winners or their department. Plus, facilities, research possibilities, advisors and colleagues influence a lot on the outcome of and project you undertake. A niche dedicated course on Quantum Shitfarding is only possible in universities that contributed to it in its earliest stages.
The threshold for joining is high and only the best get admitted. Hence, the quality of the students r already top notch to begin with.
Sure the teachers are high class, but that's not the only thing. What you get out of school is what you put into it. And a lot of people put some serious work into school to get into Harvard. Because of this, there will all be like minded children striving to learn which makes for a much better learning environment. Kids put 10x more effort than the teachers in ivy league schools. The teacher at this stage is just there to show you what's gonna happen. The rest is still up to you
The big part of an Ivy League is the connections. I could take it or leave it in terms of education, but the people you meet there will be instrumental for future success
Are you trying to say that you are willing to pay over $50 000 every year to make connections?. Also building connections is one of the things that I know many of students are not utilising.
@@QuestForGood while it’s true that many students don’t make connections, it changes once they get to Ivy leagues. People who get into those select schools are there for a reason other than partying. Btw, connections are everything. Job opportunities, advice, potential business partners, mentors, etc. do you think Jeff bezos started up Facebook with nothing? No, he had connections with a Stanford graduate!
@@QuestForGood Dude schols like harvard and yale are need blind, so if your family is low income you can study there for VERY cheap or free. And yes, I would spend 50k a year to make connections.

@@QuestForGood Ivy League schools are not only known for their quality of education but also for their very generous scholarships. Yale, for example, is a zero-cost school, meaning that if your family has a low income you can study there for very little to no cost.
But these university DO have extremely qualified staff, teachers and equipment. So the quality is indeed highee.
There’s a difference between being extremely qualified and actually teaching properly.
@@dosomestuff1949 there is no way to test a teacher how well they are teaching.
@@-_Jayden_- exactly. Then why go in Harvard or something if the normal universities' staff are just as qualified?
@@notsocube8452 ? I never said they are as qualified? Look, in harvard you got teacherd who studied on simular schools.

@@-_Jayden_- "there is no way to test a teacher how well they are teaching"

the people in your environment also matter, though. if you befriend smart people, you can get insight into their thoughts and receive positive influence. you can also help each other with homework. dont take offence, but simply put: if a smart person joined a lower calibre university, half the people there wouldnt even be able to keep up with their preferred topics of conversation. half the value of an ivy league is the peers.
But I can do that with my car club. I met handful of business owner there. You can do this literally everywhere.
Many smart people do end up going to those universities
"Colleges do a good job of filtering students not educating them"💯
It's not really a scam. It's just that the people that are even allowed into these universities are already highly motivated. Even if they went to an average university, if they manage to keep their motivations high, they will go on to achieve a crazy amount of success throughout their lives
The problem is the fucking cost of these schools. and besides, it has nothing to do with motivation. It’s just having connections and MONEY.
@@LaSombraa most ivy leagues and top schools have the best financial aid e.g. Harvard costs as much as a state school if your household income is

@@freshavocado5273no no let him think.
That is true. You wanna be surrounded with great people because they could influence you to achieve your goal.
thats true, but you can achieve the same effect by going to a convention or regular group meetup.
you dont need to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to do that and if anyone thinks that true its bullshit. thats why its a scam. the actual university and education youre paying for and the learning resources you have access to are roughly the same as any other state university, which is much cheaper and easier to get in to. and you wont be surrounded by wealthy kids who have a stick up their ass. there may be a correlation to more achieving people at these schools, but theres also a correlation to kids that grew up wealthy and out of touch with the rest of the world.
The only thing is that because all these smart and successful people are joining and leaving, the tuition will rise making you a more wealthy college and with this money you will spend on higher pay for teachers, the more salary the better the teacher you will be hiring. Which causes a higher education level.
It's like a relatively smart person getting a private tutor, and then having to thank the private tutor for all of their success in exams. You were already smart to begin with.
On top of that, Ivy Leagues introduce you to important and powerful people's kids, and that connections are worth more than your own leaning or abilities.

Princeton undergrad here... speaking on behalf of the Ivy League and other top uni's, our curriculum is actually very hard and we offer very advanced courses with renowned professors that makes it very exclusive. We have a giant network of notable alumni and the research opportunities, from international researching to using the most advanced tech, is simply unmatched. Also the extreme admission process makes it so that you learn in an environment with only geniuses around you. When I was in high school people slept during class and never asked question, but here at Princeton prodigies are everywhere and dominate the classrooms. I'd also like to compare one thing... I planned to enroll in Arizona State University which is a public uni with a massive undergrad population, and they only start teaching Calculus in MAT 267.

I thought college was just a way to get a degree, get a job, and waste 40 years of your life in a job you hate
When I was a student in my country I was always complaining about the low level and dreamt about going abroad to study. Finally, I got admission at one university in Europe and even if the level was higher than in my country, there was nothing special and I felt disappointed, so I studied hard and learnt what at that time was my 4th language and got admission into an University in Germany , only to realize that there was nothing miraculous or impressive there, the only difference was the money invested by the university in some laboratories and publicity. In terms of educational, pedagogical quality was not even better than my home university and most of international students were terrible prepared (most of them didn't even speak german well) and all were there just as part of the quote of overseas students that every university needs. After graduation I continued searching for a superior educational system and i landed in Austria, Italy but also didn't see anything special there. After all those empty educational experiences, I ended up in China at one of the "best" universities but then, I finally understood .. the students worked very hard to get into that school, passed very hard exams and had amazing achievements before applying, and that's what makes the university reputation. An university full of well motivated responsible creative students will logically have the best results and produce successful people. They were successful even before becoming students. After all those years of studying everywhere I realized I had been waiting to magically become more intelligent or receiving kind of "secret" knowledge from those universities . It doesn't where do you study
At the end it's just you. I have met people,who studied at very small unknown universities , who are more skilled than people who graduated from expensive / private / top universities,but still receive less opportunities because they don't have a fancy diplom from one of the "good" schools.
Thank you for sharing. I'm also a student still in my country and in the past I wanted to go study abroad because I have seen many scholarship students who went to top colleges in Europe, USA, Japan. I thought people admired them and wanted to be like them but ended up becoming depressed. I used to think I would go study around the world like you to be like the scholarship students I mentioned but after going through many stressful situations and reading many comments like this I finally give this up. Thank you for the comment that confirms what I have been wondering for years.
"Havard is only successful because it recruits the best students."
Diversity quotas: allow me to introduce myself
Yeah, I bet that the smartest students in Harvard or Stanford are actually natives... For sure...
Even in those diversity quotas. It selects tge best from those communities. So shut up and stop being racist
asians dominate havard
Harvard is basically a short way of saying on a resume, "I'm 200 IQ"
Conan O’Brien said Harvard was just as hard as any other university. Plus, you can get lectures from these universities and follow along with ease as long as you have a decent high school education.
In essence, if a university pushes an idea of its prestigiousness, then it does become the best.
It’s all one massive mobile game ad.
:o
this is called capitalism and this is exactly why it sucks
our economic system is built around not providing services to people who need them but mostly making money instead
the more money you make the more likely is your business or service is survive in the society, and because of that businesses or organizations focus on reaching profits...which doesn't necessarily equal better or needed product
damn, we even live in a world where such necessities like food or water or healthcare, education are only being provided for money, and oftentimes it's very expensive. we have to PAY for things without which we might die or live a bad life.
this is ridiculous and scary.
@@rimut230 providing services to people who can compensate you for said service isn't that hard to understand. and the better you are at said service, the more compensation you recieve. if you make something everyone is willing to pay for, then it is objectively better, because you are the most efficientat making that product. it's better, and if people are willing to pay for it then it's needed, the law of supply and demand demands that be true. if it's not a good or needed product, you don't make money. basic economics.
Untrue. A university becomes prestigious via its culture, teaching and professors. It’s not _petition principii,_ where you become prestigious by claiming to be so. That’s not how it works.
@@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440 i mean if a college claim to be prestigious and treats itself aa prestigious, at some point it will become prestigious
"You'd probably love to go to Harvard"
No, no I wouldn’t.
Why having to know already enough things to find a very good job and having to pay thousands just to join a University? I get the knowledge, but that amount of money needed is going to destroy the possibility of joining for a lot of valid people. At this point it would be easier to graduate in a good, but not excellent, University and start from there.

Juilliard School Of Music is also overrated. If you didn’t follow the story during the pandemic (or maybe post-pandemic), they basically rose tuition fees to $51K. This was also in the middle of the students’ education, meaning that if they backed out, they wouldn’t get their music degree. They held protests to demand tuition freeze. On the other end of the spectrum, Curtis school of music remains tuition free.
To put the tuition increase in an easier perspective, say you’re at a restaurant and the burger is $20. In the middle of plating it (after it’s done cooking), they come to you and say, “By the way, for us to serve your burger, it will be $5 extra.” However, since they’ve already made the burger, you can’t back out.
All in all, I don’t know the full story or if the tuition increase at Juilliard has been settled, but I do know that they completely screwed the students over by doing the increase. There’s a difference between paying for quality education and paying because of a prestigious name.
It's time to flex that I'm in Harvard
What are you majoring in?. Also what is the average cost per year.?
One thing a lot of people don't understand is how important it is to surround yourself with the right people. You got to a bad uni where no one cares, works hard, nor has a future and you will be similar to them.
So how do I surround myself with the right people?
If you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

There is virtually no difference between an average university and a "prestigious" university
Both will give me a degree which would lead to a job, right?
Only some minor differences. Only noticeable difference is that one costs a boatload of money just because of its name
You can guess which one it is
Harvard quite literally offers courses free online
We should do a research about their programs and how they teach them to determine how good they actually are.
BINGO!
In my lifetime, I attended 1 junior college & 2 universities. In my opinion, it is better to look for a school that excels in the field in which you want to study. The school's ranking is unimportant; does that institution give you the knowledge you need to get you where you want to go in your career.
This makes me feel good that I didn't join a good university

I know a few people like this in real life. I think they're using it as a coping mechanism.
He is not wrong tho
He's not wrong. I know a few people who went to ivy league schools and they aren't all that exceptional. There are people who don't even go to college who are more successful than people who go to college in general. Ivy league isn't a guarantee of success. I'm sure there are thousands of people who regret going to ivy league schools thinking it would help them succeed.
That loop made me fall
"Every GabeSweats subscriber is 200 IQ"
Me: *checks* okay I'm not subbed good.
The only reason I’d join a university like that is not for the education but connections. The people you meet there will more than likely be very successful, and befriending them can get you ahead in life.
Holy sh*t...This approach on the topic actually kinda blew my mind...👀
"Made TH-cam shorts you know."
"On some Reddit bot account!"
"Try University of GabeSweats!"
This is true for any school. No school made you a genius or just a diligent and talented student - you just did it yourself. Getting into Harvard proves that you don't need Harvard for your future to be bright. But it's a nice affirmation nonetheless.
Deeper explanation: the reason harvard didn't produce billionaires and famous genuises because every billionaire was broke at some point.. And before they got into college.. They weren't really rich (most people invest during their 30-40)Means that Harvard's requirements looked were really strict to them.. gabesweats university existed it would have produced these special people Because the requirements aren't really strict so anyone can join.
I would appreciate it if you corrected my mistakes.
Every primary, secondary, 6 form, college or university is good. Just go to the nearest one and do not waste time travelling. What says someone else doesn't have to mean it is also so for you. I just laugh always when other parents are so focussed on how a school does, but they forget their kid. Your child is unique and that should be encouraged. Not being the best at the best school according to what others find important.
I am happy I got rejected by most of them. I get to keep all the money in my pocket especially given that the education there is not something you can't learn from books and case studies on your own.

This is the same in our country. The College I went to, (Highschool for Americans) was a very average College but sicne the requirements and the entry test was so difficult it was regarded as the most prestigious College in my country but the teachers, equipment and the curriculum were all average.

It might be true that ivy league doesn’t necessarily mean better teaching. But its not only the teaching that makes universities great (or not) and attracts talented students. no one will apply to your university just because your entry requirements are stringent. Universities conduct research along with educating students. Therefore universities first need a proven track record of high quality research before talented students even want to join. Then with more high quality research comes more funding and more talented students which in turn increases the quality of your research. Only then its viable to have stricter entry requirements.
I like how these people never went to these universities
To put it more concisely, going to gabesweats university wouldn’t make you a genius, you’d have to already be a genius to go to gabesweats university
I understand your point my school was one of the best schools in my country and everyone said student who are in this school get great results but after I realized something, school wasn't that great but the students were, because they only take the best students of course their results will be high, every student there worked their asses off to get good grades that was not about school but the students.
