| Hmmm... back to the actual intention of the post.
Do you think that students at UChicago tend to be competitive with each other in terms of getting higher grades than others? I've heard cases from both sides, one from Libby Pearson when she visited my high school and one from my UChicago interviewer. Libby said that the students there are not competitive and like to collaborate with each other (e.g. form study groups). My interviewer said that there was some competition, but stressed that competition isn't necessarily a bad thing. The way he saw it, competition can keep you motivated to do the work. What do you think? |
