And this is actually a good thing that it's taught at Penn, as it doesn't lie to you and say, "just get high grades and you'll be the best in the world!"

Would have been nice if my university taught us that

"bUt PaRtIcIpAtInG iN sOcIeTy!", people with imposter syndrome who don't believe enough in their own abilities to be comfortable with the idea of merit alone judging advancement.

Underline tip

Throw a [ in the margin

For highlighting, highlight the tldr of each [ section, skipping over words deemed unnecessary to understanding it
