Didn't expect that my DS would like MIT>Harvard

I’ve heard of a few tough engineering programs having 1st semester pass/fail (MIT, Harvey Mudd, Olin). There may be others. It seems like it would promote collaboration and reduce stress during the college transition.

MIT used to have 2 semesters of pass/fail.</p>

<p>To add to your list, Caltech also does pass/fail for the first 2 out of 3 quarters of the first year.</p>
