while she was thinking on a grander scale of mental instability, youre paring her comment down to imply she'll reject the entire medicated populace. shes not trying to discriminate against mental disorders, shes trying to take preventative measures in situations where students and parents are too focused on the prize that they refuse to take into consideration the inevitable in some cases.
take into consideration the armed forces. there is a psych exam involved in the higher elite fields to determine who may or may not freak out under pressure, and thats acceptable because ultimately the safety of all involved is at stake. MIT is in the same caliber as special forces. they have a responsibilty to discern who can and can not actually live through the process.
