I've heard really terrible stories abou uber-competive-ness at school; like dog-eat-dog in the classroom in high school.
Nobody at my school is like, extremely cut-throat, but there are kids who will do anything to one-up that one certain person who always seems to "beat them" without trying. |

University of Toronto is the most competitive school in Canada. Some people here are crazy about being at the very top. And if you don't become competitive yourself, you'll be left behind, especially in my current program of Life Sciences. I honestly think this is one of the major reasons why students in LS don't enjoy undergrad; competition kills you. There's a huge desire to go on to med school, dentistry, pharmacy programs, etc., that my school offers and it's pretty cut-throat. I'm starting to realize all this now. :(

I have so many friends from there and I'm going there next year. My boyfriend told me, "Vic (his brother) tells me horrible stories about UT people. Just don't become a typical UT person.." ahahah. You're talking about sciences; can you imagine what it's like in the performing arts, where you HAVE to be better than everyone else? It's insane. |
