[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So no schools in the top 25 or so that are NOT pressure cookers? Really?[/quote]

By nature of being the top 25, of course they are pressure cookers.  [/quote]

And the mindset of the kids that make it in are not related Ed.

You are looking for a unicorn.
Consider seeking healthy balance instead of prestige for your child. One leads to a more solid foundation.[/quote]

Hi I would like a universally recognized elite college attracting the highest achievers in the world, and you need perfect grades/scores to even enter the lottery to get in but NO PRESSURE and also NO COMPETITION once there.

Next up, find me a house in perfect condition in a great neighborhood that’s super safe with great schools and short commutes, but UNDER MARKET PRICE.[/quote]

OP here, and I hear you. Does it hurt to ask?
I don't think it's an inherently insane idea that a good school might also be prestigious, and also not a pressure cooker.[/quote]

Curious what you think “prestige” is and what it’s based on?

OKAY: LET"S CHANGE THE QUESTION:
GOOD SCHOOLS THAT HAVE AND ENCOURAGE WELL-ADJUSTED STUDENTS WHO AREN"T KILLING THEMSELVES TO COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER AND LEARN AND WHO SET KIDS UP FOR A HAPPY PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE[/quote]

Think it’s this list minus UCLA, Michigan, UVA bc think those kids are Ivy rejects and feel like they have to grind to prove something?

Rice 
Vanderbilt 
Dartmouth 
Emory 
USC 
UIUC 
Wisco 
Wake 
Santa Clara 
UMiami 
Tulane[/quote]

I’m using this list![/quote]
In don't have a kid in the upcoming cycle, but I would use the list too :)[/quote]
