[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a challenging public high school and found college much easier. The big difference for me was in the volume of work. In high school I'd get assignments in 8 classes, all due the next day. There was just so much work. By contrast, in college our grades came almost exclusively from one midterm and one final exam. I could do homework at my pace and only as much as I needed to do to understand the content. Plus in high school ECs are really mandatory for college admissions. In college ECs are just for fun--there isn't nearly the same pressure to join and demonstrate "leadership." I was a double major in chemistry and physics so not easy majors, especially with all the premeds in my core chem classes, and it was still so much less stressful than high school.[/quote] Good point. Lots of overkill/overload in workload in the high schools around here, unclear the reasoning.[/quote]
