[quote=Anonymous]I have a pre-med at an Ivy known for inflation, but I question that. Norm is to skip intro bio/chem so it all gets “real” right out of the gates. Students are very collaborative, but the peer group is top notch so it’s very challenging to stay at the top. Never needed a tutor, now regularly go to office hours or TA sessions to ensure they do well in classes. They love it, wanted to be challenged, but can easily see now how there could have been a much easier path chosen. Opportunities are plentiful, but kid was used to be the go-getter in HS and seizing it all, now they are all like that so competition is greater for everything. Advising has been great, had 2-3 meetings freshman year versus some other schools start much later in engaging. It’s a grind, I can see how you have to have a real passion to have the wherewithal to plug along.[/quote]
