mit doesn't need to be that stressful, period. the point is they aren't the special forces. people don't go to their school to learn how to be elite soldiers or airmen. they go there to be educated. education is a personal process--how it got turned into this great bastion of competition is way beyond me. yes, reward people for their efforts, but that shouldn't require overwhelming the entire student body with pressure they probably won't experience to nearly the same degree at any other time in their lives.
