[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bucknell, Virginia Tech, Davidson[/quote] All of the colleges listed here surprise me.[/quote] Because it's not true at all. well, maybe in engineering but that would be true anywhere - and not overall.[/quote] This. Engineering and premed can be pressure cookers at many schools in the top 30ish but not other areas. At the very top there is more relative inflation of grades, even in Stem, and at least for the top privates there is a lot more faculty support and potential to have significant research/resume building. That often feels less pressured than schools which have large undergrad departments causing a huge competition for relatively few research spots. Clubs are more challenging at large publics than small to medium privates. [/quote]
