The hype of elite college admissions often neglects vital skills (e.g., practical emotional, social, and leadership intelligence, and employable skills)—key to navigating challenges like imposter syndrome and anxiety. (For more insights, read “Penn ranked highest out of the Ivy League for mental health—with a D+” and “The myth of the Ivy League“.)
