In response to "Send Me All Your Grades by E-Mail

I see what the author here is talking about. I see plenty of kids throughout Drexel who kill themselves for grades and will push aside any extracurricular activities, parties, ANYTHING that may distract them from their oh so precious grades. I honestly think it is a shame, after making a visit with my pre-med counselor I even heard it from him, he said something along the lines of "A balance is key in a student's life, medical schools aren't looking for lab rats, they're looking for people who can interact and be social with patients yet treat their needs.". The kids who lock themselves up in their room to pump out their perfect essays and lab reports are bound for lab ratdom and they need to realize a balance in their life will help them more than any 'A grade' could in the long run.
