[quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's not the school directly, but the other kids. I went to a top 10 law school and I witnessed kids going through real depression (not to the point of suicide) b/c they perceived themselves to be failures based on how they were stacking up against the other kids (i.e. how many interviews did you get, which ones, how many offers for summer jobs, how many offers from high paying firms for permanent employment). The stress was crazy. It wasn't put out by the administration directly, but by the "fish bowl" world that said "you are a loser if you don't have an offer from a big city firm." Re: woodson, maybe kids see only a single path to success. If they feel they can't measure up to that standard, then they have no hope. Maybe there is some protective aspect to being in a school where there are kids less perfect than you. [/quote]
