It's a pressure cooker for undergrads. I'm not sure I would recommend it for anyone except those who combine the highest levels of intelligence with a tremendous work ethic.
In spite of a more humble innate intelligence, I survived grad school in Physics there by working very, very hard and by having worked hard and done well (learned a lot) as an undergrad at LSU.
The undergrad experience there would have destroyed me. I was nowhere near ready for it coming out of Louisiana public schools.
