[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can tell those who are mentioning MIT have never attended. For one, their first year is P/F.[/quote] Did you attend as an undergrad? Because I did, and went on to get a PhD in the hard sciences and a JD. I had a rigorous high school curriculum. My first year at MIT was one of the hardest academic years I have ever had (and the other three were my next three years...). Law school was a f-ing VACATION compared to taking calculus, chemistry, physics, a humanities class with significant writing requirements, and a seminar. It’s also Pass/No Credit (not fail) because of they didn’t do that, a good portion of their student body would drop out or commit suicide. When the administration discusses getting rid of it, faculty who went to MIT strongly advise against it and say they wouldn’t be where they are now if Freshman year was graded. Also? Just because a class is P/NC doesn’t mean that a kid who would be at MIT would take it easy. [/quote]
