When I was teaching university math I saw a lot of freshmen who would have done well with less social skill and more algebra skill.
I don't disagree with that assessment, but I know these kids that are in this particular program. They have been to my house several times. These are not your average college freshmen and women. These kids are borderline geniuses if not already.
They are sorely lacking in social skills to a person. Not to say that is all of them, but I can safely say it was my opinion of the dozen or so that I have personally spent time with.
