<p>Hopefully a current premed can answer this question if possible.</p>
<p>Are there weed-out classes? If so, are they extremely oppressive and not taught very well or challenging but still fulfilling?</p>
<p>In general: is there a suffocating academic, competitive atmosphere? How hard do you feel classes are?</p>
<p>And while I’m at it, are students REALLY (as in truly, actually) happy? Is there no facade?</p>
