pedantic trivia

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2008)

Decent movie; entertaining enough and attention--getting and keeping.
To someone here: MIT is not an Ivy League school, but it is more elite than most. The Ivies: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown and Univ. of Pennsylvania.
To someone else: The movie doesn't say or imply that there is only 1 scholarship to Harvard Med a year, only that there is 1 of that kind. For whatever reason it is something he desperately wants--and maybe is the only one from the med school itself that offers a full, free ride--the reason given for why he wants it. Even if--as there are--other scholarships are available from Harvard Med, maybe it's the most prestigious. But there are certainly plenty of other scholarships from other source available for Harvard or med schools in general.
