[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] A prestigious (highly selective as defined here) school without pressure is like magically delicious chocolate cake without calories. And if you find either one, please let me know. [/quote] +100 If you want true door-opening prestige in many areas, you have to go to a pressure cooker school and avoid being in the bottom 1/4. The caveat is that for the top students, they do not see them as a pressure cooker, because success comes more easily to them with their drive and intelligence, even if they come from poor or modest backgrounds. The rest fight it out to keep near the average. They will still be successful because of the “name” factor and alumni connections of these schools. The ones who struggle are the bottom 1/4 of these schools who do not have any family connections. [/quote] In short, choose the school that you can, with the effort you put, get the GPA you are striving for in your field of study. [/quote]
