[quote=Anonymous]My kid just started at MIT and it is far less intense than I feared it would be. I think a big part of that is the lack of grades for the first year. Or perhaps the kid do get grades, but they don't go on the transcript? Something like that. I think a good way to check on whether a school is too intense/lacks supports is to see what percent drop out or transfer freshman year. I recall that is a stat typically available -- if you can't find it, ask the school for it. It's not perfect; maybe a school with a high percent that don't return for sophomore year considers it their mission to admit kids with economic concerns that are significantly at risk of dropping out.
