[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I recently worked at a top (HYP) Ivy college as a psychologist in the counseling center. While the kids there are really great students and quite accomplished, I can tell you first-hand that not all of them are that psychologically resilient. I had many, many students on my caseload who struggled with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harming, and even suicide. Believe me when I tell you that it is often the highest acheivers who are hardest on themselves and most susceptible to a variety of mental health issues.[/quote] I'm sure that's the case, but the retention and four-year graduation rates will be much higher at an Ivy than a typical state school or less selective college. So you'll see the stressed-out Ivy grad in your college counseling center, but the people who are less resilient and motivated at other schools will just drop out and the counselors won't witness their struggles back home.
