[quote=Anonymous]Probably self-selecting, yes. But u of c doesn’t make any effort to get the kids to modulate. The message they get from many professors is just work harder/read more/be smarter (and faster- the quarter system can be brutal). One example of how it’s so unique- at talks or presentations, attendees and faculty are really relentlessly tough. I mean- aggressive questioning etc. But that is actually high praise - they are engaging with your work by tearing it apart. I saw 19 year olds just shredded by this- they didn’t have the emotional maturity to deal with that, even when the profs would say- we do this because we like the ideas! It’s a very super intellectual atmosphere- for better or for worse. [/quote]
