[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Obviously the more competitive colleges for admission are probably more competitive when you get there, too, but are there some schools that are especially known for being pressure cookers? [/quote] The ivies (especially Columbia), Chicago, Swarthmore, Reed, MIT, Caltech, Harvey Mudd, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, WashU (especially if you are in biomedical engineering)...[/quote] Yeah, I tend to be in the stressed-out-people-will-stress-in-any-evironment camp, but then I think about how crazy people got when I was at Chicago (grad). There was the poor student who shot himself in the head in the bathroom of the library on Sunday night. Almost everyone I knew developed some stress-related issue-gaining or losing tons of weight, insomnia, skin picking, hair pulling, stress vomiting, tics, and a strangely large number of young people who got shingles. It was also the first time I met people who used beta blockers to improve performance.[/quote]
