Sakky, I’ve been looking at this, and you make some sense when I think about what was said by a disgruntled student in the Georgia Tech (as you may know, this program is also known to be extremely rigorous and since it’s all engineering and science, the average grad. gpa is not quite 3.1 yet) discussion threads. He basically said that he hated the school, because it simply worked the students to death, and had many extremely difficult exams/classes with no real life applications, and that getting through Tech was merely a matter of being “obedient”. This sounds similar to what you are describing to some extent.
