from my experience, by the time you get to college you should have a fair assesment at your strengths and weaknesses ... usually someone is strong in something because they desired to learn it previously and thus became strong at that particular thing .... so i wouldn't give it a negative connotation as you seem to be doing (i could be wrong)

i just think that at the college age, especially at liberal arts schools like brown, people have a desire to learn things that they might not be initially good at, and success anyway ... but that's just my personal experience
