I agree...MIT is hardcore education. If you can't cut it, don't go there. Period. Some of the smartest people in the world attend MIT and are successful.
I don't think the school will turn down anyone who is on meds, but will turn down people with a significant mental disability....and by doing this, they cut down on people having to be hospitalized for mental issues that might not stem from attending MIT, but are heightened by the experience there.
In the long run, the school is a great place. I've lived in Boston, and MIT does great things. I really don't think they have a policy of descrimination. :)
