<p>I have two sons at Cornell, One in a Chem E and the other a bio major. One has made the deans list evry semester but one and the other has not. They are very smart by the standards of society and they are far from whiners. The statement I made was made by two of their friends attending Princeton and Columbia in a few specific classes that they were each taking. I would take this to mean that in those particular classes Cornell expected something more. I am in no way saying that either Princeton or Columbia are easier…just those particular classes.</p>

I am curious as to why you discuss Cornell in a way that makes others believe that Cornell students are not on par with the likes of Harvard, Princeton or others. That is where I disagree with you. It has little to do with what you say, and everything to do with how you say it.</p>
