<p>Wow. I didn’t know that about MIT. I looked into it myself and this is what I found</p>
<p>“MIT has a collaborative and supportive educational environment. Competition among students is discouraged. There is no such thing as class rank or graduating with honors at MIT, and emphasis is placed on the process of learning instead of the grade.”</p>
<p>from [About</a> MIT - FAQs](<a href=“http://digm.drexel.edu/z-archive/digm242/003A/about/faqs.html]About”>http://digm.drexel.edu/z-archive/digm242/003A/about/faqs.html)</p>
<p>This is very unusual for an American university or college.</p>
<p>But I then have a hard time believing that people who earn degrees from MIT cannot be admitted into British grad schools.</p>
<p>It’s still a mystery to me.</p>
