Jealousy

<p>“MIT prides itself on judging personality”</p>

<p>From 2008: ‘Compared to the national average for 17- to 22-year-olds in the United States, MIT’s suicide rate is also higher at 20.6 per 100,000 since 1990. The national average during the period was 13.5, according to the study, and at all colleges, an estimated 7 per 100,000 commit suicide.’</p>

<p>Children of MIT alums have higher rates of autism.</p>

<p>Hmm; maybe they need to hire better judges of personality.</p>

<p>Well, maybe it’s not the “personalities” that are the problem. We don’t know how people at peer schools would react to the stress of MIT. The only difference in personalities is that MIT undergrads that I observed is that they may care more about academic results and be harder on themselves.</p>

<p>This is confounded by the fact that children of technical professionals have a higher rate of Aspergers. And any technical school has a higher percentage of technical professionals, so it is not surprising their children may have a higher rate of Aspergers.</p>

<p>I have to say that I think your post is obtuse and obnoxious.</p>

<p>To the OP, quit crying. This is life. You will always have competitions whether they be getting college acceptances, jobs, or girls. You need learn to grow up and seeing how you’ve become jealous of another person applying to MIT, I don’t think MIT is the right place for you. Your competition against your friend is nothing compared to the competition at MIT.</p>

<p>Maybe because there is a positive correlation between intelligence and suicide rates? [Smart</a> and suicidal?

<p>Hahahaha…since arriving at MIT, I’ve completely forgotten about the high school competitiveness described by the OP. MIT’s nothing like that.</p>
