<p>Please ADD to this thread! Or correct what I have written! Thanks!</p>
<p>Very tough academically:
UChicago
Swarthmore
Cornell
CMU
Reed</p>
<p>Am I right? Which ones are not so tough?</p>
<p>All of them are known to be, some more than others, but none of those schools is known to be easy.</p>
<p>all of those schools are 'up there' as far as workload. </p>
<p>I'll put my vote in for Cornell. It's especially nuts here right now ... exam week. Ick!</p>
<p>I would add CalTech and MIT for sure.</p>
<p>Can't forget Harvey Mudd. Consistently ranked among Top 5 in Princeton Review's "Students Never Stop Studying."</p>
<p>Yes, Harvey Mudd, Rose Hulman and Georgia Tech should definitely be included. Johns Hopkins probably should as well.</p>
<p>My picks:
1. Caltech
2. MIT
3. Swathmore
4. Cornell / Berkeley (engrg) / UChicago</p>
