<p>this is the one factor of cornell that i'm very worried about. i have heard there is an EXTREMELY competitive atmosphere at cornell. i do not want this.. whats the real deal? Also, whats up with grade deflation and being the hardest ivy to graduate from.. no offense but i dont want to be worrying about not graduating when i enter college.</p>
<p>its pretty simple,

[<em>]Cornell has a tough workload.
[</em>]It dolls out a 4.3 to very few people...abt 1 in 30-40.
[<em>]While at other places like UPenn most of the class gets an awesome grade, at Cornell, thats pretty much non-existant. They beleive in making u work harder.
[</em>]Don't worry u'll be just fine...almost everyone finds a balance btwn having fun and stufying.
[li]And those who don't end up at a community college ;)[/li][/ul]</p>
