I have seen it the other way, as well. I have seen workforces composed of almost exclusively top-tier, Ivy League grads with sky high GPAs that, once they have achieved their "dream job", shift the gear into neutral and coast downhill. Some of them are the first to clock out, often as early as 3:30 pm (not 5 pm). I have also seen companies with mostly people from the "working classes", who work their asses off and still don't get compensated for it in the paycheck.
I don't know what the BMAT is, but the MCAT is the test that is required to enter medical school. Perhaps you would fare better in admissions if you took the correct test?
A good, solid C average is all it takes to be President of the United States. Heck, you don't even need to be able to spell, "smoking", nor do you need to know what, "scott free" means,. . .
What district (reality?) do you live in where teachers are paid a six figure salary? 90% of teachers in most cities in the USA would love to be even close to that kind of income!
I teach chemistry at the college level in the United States, and we do not require our chemistry majors to take German. My PhD program had a foreign language requirement back in the late 90s when I started, but no specific language requirement. Since I am a computational chemist, they allowed me to substitute a foreign language with a computer programming course. I guess computer languages were foreign to most faculty at the time,. . .
A series about Khan is risky, IMHO. The core fan-boys will either love it or hate it; there is no in between there.
A show about starfleet academy could be interesting. Might bring in some younger viewers. But it could also completely suck if they make it like Beverly Hills 90210 In Space,. ..
Didn't the Ancients already figure this out using a set of six astrological symbols representing any point in space, with the seventh symbol representing the point of origin? Plus, Captain Samantha Carter figured out how to account for stellar drift.
So, instead of building a wall, shouldn't we be constructing a giant spaceship transfer that turns into Mega-Maid with a vacuum cleaner? I hear the combination for Planet Druidia is 12345. Oddly enough, that's the same combination on President Trump's luggage.
I doubt it's zero, but the body of most iPhones, and even MacBooks and Mac computers is aluminum and glass. I am sure there are some plastic components, but the bulk of the body itself is not plastic.
I have had a second generation iPad since 2012, and it has worked well for five years. In fact, it still works very well, because I gave mine to my brother at the end of last year when I bought a new iPad Pro. I just needed more memory, and wanted to use the Apple Pencil when lecturing, which is not supported on the older iPads. Having had two of them already, the iPad is very well made and I have not had the need to repair it. It would be nice if the battery was easily replaceable, but even after five years of use, the battery in my old iPad works reasonably well, and if you're watching a movie close to an outlet, not an issue. Since I use my iPad Pro for lecturing, I would like to see the capability to record while connected to a projector. iOS has screen recording capability built into the OS, but it does not work while connected to a projector.
When you think about it, the United States has a somewhat similar situation with Puerto Rico. The US government recognizes PR as a Commonwealth and part of the nation. The Puerto Rican government does acknowledge this, unlike Taiwan's government in relation to China. Some on the island want PR to become a full state; others desire independence. Right now, I think everyone on the island just wants electricity. At least Taiwan has that.
Not all US citizens. If you're a student or faculty member at a primarily undergraduate institution and not a Carnegie D1 research institution, you probably don't have access to all of the scientific publications as those at the main research schools. This is simply because you're library doesn't have the budget to subscribe to everything.
I think that's the major issue. The vast majority of homes and buildings in Puerto Rico are not built to code. In fact, many were built illegally due to cost issues. Sure, there are going to be some rich people with homes that have their own generators and/or solar panels. But the vast majority of the population is screwed.
Most people watch sports in real time, but that's about it. True sports fans hate watching a game that's been recorded, because it's too easy to find out who won.
There is a difference in works published by a federal government agency itself and works published by a scientist funded by a government grant who works for an institution of higher learning but not an employee of the federal government. Only works produced directly by agencies and employees of the federal government go into the public domain. The vast majority of research is not conducted by federal employees, but contractors (grantees). However, Congress has passed a law requiring work funded by federal grants to be "open access". Open access is not exactly the same thing as public domain.
The content producers are not thieves. The content producers are the scientists that publish the research, and their peers that peer review the research articles for free. The thieves are the ones whose job it is to provide the research and make it available to the community -- the "middle men". What they are doing is pretty much the textbook definition of extortion.
They have apparently found a way to get all those rednecks to hate cable TV by giving it the same acronym as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or ObamaCare,. . .
It's not a violation of the first amendment to prevent someone from attending Harvard, or any university in the nation (public or private) for that matter. You have the RIGHT to freedom of speech, which means that you cannot be arrested for sharing your views. You do not have the right to attend college, anywhere. You have the PRIVILEGE of attending colleges for which you apply, are accepted to, and either pay the tuition or find the tuition via scholarships. But once you are 18, you don't have to go to school anymore, anywhere. You choose to attend school to advance your knowledge, skills and career prospects, and so you can avoid making minimum wage until retirement. If you choose to attend college, you follow all of the rules of the institution you choose to attend, which may or may not be more stringent than the laws that apply to everyone.
So, how did Harvard get into a Facebook private group?
That's actually pretty trivial to do, and doesn't involve any complicated hacking beyond social engineering. You have somebody create a fake account on FB posing as a student, and monitoring the official FB groups. When they see a bunch of students creating a private group and attracting people to it, they ask to join the group. And the student admins of the group think they're one of them and let them in. Most high school students a pretty nieve and think think that what they post is pretty harmless and won't be detected by "authorities", when in fact, those that need or want to know already know everything they need to know. Remember, people that work for Harvard are, by definition, already smarter than students that have not attended Harvard in the first place. That's why they are paid to educate them.

Who needs silicon when you can use proteins engineered from plants or cyanobacteria to generate electricity?
