[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big flagship publics are NOT the right place for a DMV snowflake. These schools are for self starters who have good time management skills and don’t melt down at the first sign of adversity. I came from a large public school where I was in the top 5% of my class of 450 or so, and the first semester was a major eye opener. You need resilience and a level head to make it through, especially as a pre-professional student competing with other pre-preprofessionals. It can be pretty dog eat dog, but I think prepared me for the realities of real life and ultimately I graduated from med school at the top of my class. Just food for thought when you think of what kind of kids go to large flagship publics.[/quote]

Yeah, because kids who go to Stanford aren’t competitive or self starters.

The stupid fallacy that public flagships aren’t challenging is only matched by the stupid fallacy that private colleges coddle students. This is as dumb as the argument over whether making $500,000 a year is a hardship compared to making a $1 million a year. [/quote]
