[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a high-achieving high school student who hated the competitive environment and the race for top rankings, but played the game anyway. I was thrilled to spend my college years at Reed College in Portland, where competition and grades are not the focus, and where I was surrounded by brilliant students and caring, talented professors. His interests and personality sounds like they'd fit right in.[/quote] Not the OP but my DC has Reed down as a possible ED choice but we have since read a lot of stuff about it being a pressure cooker, students dropping extracurriculars in order to keep up with the academic demands, etc. This has been here on DC Urban Mom. Can you shed some insight? Our DC is bright and at a competitive high school but does not want to feel that kind of pressure for 4 yrs of college. [/quote]
