I don't think it's intelligence but the sudden shock that these kids struggle with. Most ivy league kids will have succeeded in ~everything before college, and likely internalized the belief of their talent / status as top of class etc. When you put these kids into a single room, by definition only a small minority can be the smartest kid in the room / acing everything. The rest need to accept the change in status for the first time in their lives - also the first time they're away from their support network - and I guess some take this particularly badly and fail to adapt. |
