Sure, there are people like that at MIT. You see them walking around. There are probably even a couple in your living group. And it's a good point, and I'm very turned off by that in a sense. But there are also people who would be exactly like that if not for the fact that Harvard/Stanford isn't pushing them as hard. So you might see this happening more on a regular basis at MIT, but the students, on a whole, do not suffer from any great personality disorder to which other schools are immune. No matter what, they certainly don't "fill" up MIT. At least not nearly in the way they might fill up Caltech.
