It's funny. You can be precocious in many things academic, and Leopold certainly is. But the 'wisdom' he imparts is still very generically from the mindset of a 20-year-old elitist. For example...
"People say the ivy leagues should admit more people. I actually think they should admit less... there is too much variability in the ability of the students"
He goes on to suggest it would have been a better experience if only the top 10% were admitted. Better, because it would have made his peer group more ideal. He says this without equivocation or qualification, lol. I almost admire the brazen egocentrism.
