[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bryn Mawr isn't a pressure cooker because it's taboo for students to discuss grades with each other[/quote] That makes it worse because human nature is to assume everyone is doing better than you. “They all are doing great and I must be the only failure” is the path to disastrous mental health. “My friend got a B- and my other friend bombed the midterm, so it’s okay if I have a B- too” sets realistic expectations for performance at a challenging school. [/quote] The running joke is that everyone assumes they are the admissions mistake. Still, it is actually not that hard to stop comparing yourselves to other people all the time and to just focus on doing your own work the best you can, especially when the work is challenging. When you are intrinsically motivated, grade comparisons don't really matter. [/quote]
