I think you’ll be miserable if you’re among the last in your class, even at MIT. I’ve seen my share of struggles and burnouts in places like MIT. It’s never fun to be at the bottom of anything. Even at a place like MIT, the distribution of talents has long tails. I agree with you, though, that MIT will open many doors that GT won’t, and it’s a place that’s worth paying some extra for.
