[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]did anyone's kid go there after a rigorous or "Big3" private?  I'm wondering how the adjustment was. [/quote]

Yes and DC was ready for this kind of work. Quarter system is relentless. Strong writing skills and ability to read closely helped — Core means that this is true for STEM students as well.

DC had lots of faculty contact throughout (in and out of major). I would have characterized it as big nerds playing with little nerds.

DC found time to leave campus/do stuff in other parts of the city fairly regularly, compete in a club sport, participate in DocFilms and the Folk Festival on campus.

It’s high-energy, at times grueling environment, so if that’s not where or how your kid thrives, I’d encourage them to avoid it.  But if “contents under pressure” works better than “choose your own adventure,” then check it out.  Personally, I fall in the latter camp (DC is in the former), though both of us love an intellectual challenge. Just different styles/sources of motivation.[/quote]
