[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me think l hope my kid chooses to go to school in Canada, where I’m from originally.  Much easier to get into a great school, and pretty much everyone has a great time.  Not a pressure cooker.  (I hope it’s still like that!!)[/quote]

Working hard at a academic pursuits is a great time for some of these students.  Some of them like it.  They are are finally in an environment where being a nerd is an asset instead of a liability.[/quote]

nerd =/= grind

My kid, the OP, is a nerd.

Grinding away the day, night, weekend and holidays to get all As and kill your competition is something else entirely. [/quote]

People are arguing about this because DC is full of grinders. Not so many eccentric geniuses. [/quote]

Maybe the t20s are for these " grinders" and there are other schools for "eccentric geniuses".   The posts on here generally seem to say these t20s are looking for " grinders".[/quote]

This is not accurate. Top 20 universities seek hard working, intelligent students who will thrive most in the school environment.

In my view, "grinders" are engineering majors because it is necessary in order to successfully complete the major.[/quote]
