🎓 Why Being Smart Isn’t Enough in Grad School 😳
Is intelligence really the key to success in graduate school — or is it all about who you know? In this video, I’m breaking down the unspoken truth about how networking often outweighs academic brilliance when it comes to getting ahead in academia.

We'll talk about:
✔️ Why some students with average work get big opportunities
✔️ The role of social capital in academia
✔️ Whether meritocracy is a myth in grad school
✔️ How YOU can build the right connections without selling your soul

This isn’t just a rant — it’s a conversation we need to have.

👇 Sound off in the comments:
Do you think networking is more important than intelligence in grad school? Or should merit still matter most?
