[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for less selective schools similar to MIT in that they encourage kids to pursue their interests and students are supportive as opposed to competitive with each other.

And the students are truly kind. That is key.

That is what has stuck out to us about MIT - it is not just a phenomenal school academically but they seem to have found a way to select and encourage those who foster team work.

Doubtful DC will get into MIT next year (it is truly a lottery even with great stats) so looking for other options where there is not fierce competition and the school has a truly a collaborative approach to learning. Also where professors engage with the students and it is not just rote learning.

Maybe Wash. U.?

In parent times, it was a nice place. There were individual students and professors who weren’t saintly, but people generally seemed nice. The school didn’t do anything to promote being a jerk, and people there might be more humble than students at a place with a higher ranked engineering program. [/quote]
