[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From these posts, it strikes me that a lot of Top 25 kids would be more comfortable at a Top 26-50 school. Basically, they could get a great education without the cut throat competition and sole focus on academics. [/quote] Good insight. The competitive/grind/boring student body complaint seems to be a common theme here. (Not surprising given how hard kids need to grind in HS to be accepted in the first place …. ) Any Top 25 schools that don’t come with that obsessively competitive/resume-building/grind vibe? [/quote] Brown and Pomona are really the only ones ranking in top 25 (for combined rankings like WSJ, Forbes, etc.) I can think of that stand out for a somewhat laid-back, easy-going student body. Maybe Rice? All of the other T25s have intensely focused students who are very much on the grind to perfect their resume. [/quote]
