"In fact, the more intelligent people realize that marks are absolutely useless"
No, the more intelligent realize that marks are not always an accurate portrayal of your potential, but that they are often a means to an end.
"You don't need marks for grad school if you're truely smart"
So where do you take this... You don't need to write a dissertation if you're truly smart... You don't need to get a job if you're truly smart.. etc., etc.
So perhaps the smartest members of soceity are the homeless people in downtown Toronto? Is that what you're trying to tell me?
Ambition and hard work are at least as important as "smartness" and "creativity"
"it's more about the research potential of a candidate not how many hours they spent up in a library"
That's quite funny. I always thought that "research potential" and "hours spend in the library" are closely related quantities. No one who lives in a vacuum has much research potential. Even notice how many other people's works are cited in a good research paper?[ Parent ]
