[quote=Anonymous]Requiring diligence and hard work is one thing. All engineering schools will require diligence and hard work. OP did not express concern about either of these. OP appears to want engineering programs that are supportive rather than trying to weed out students. Soul-crushing is something else entirely. An example of soul-crushing is a school with a lower graduation rate (or lower retention rate to start of junior year) that is trying to fail students out. Programs with intentional weed-out classes often are soul crushing even for well-prepared students. The very best engineering schools (e.g., MIT) all have 4yr graduation rates with an engineering degree of 90+%. Some other engineering schools also have 90+% 4yr graduation rates - usually because they (a) filter applicants more during admission, (b) actively ensure their engineering program is supportive of all students, and (c) avoid having any weed-out classes.
