<p>"I think he's responding to this assinine quote!"</p>
<p>My quote is not "assinine".... that's spelled with one 's' by the way....</p>
<p>Look, like others have said to you before: nobody thinks you're smart; stop trying to make points! Go read or study for the SAT or something.</p>
<p>What I said in that paragraph makes perfect sense.</p>
<p>Not really^^ </p>
<p>You really are being an annoying troll, like others have said before.
When this thread started you disagreed with like almost three+ people. Like what the hell? Do you have a clue what you're talking about. You're like a monster that just won't go away!</p>
<p>anyway, "correction is often taking by those who know when they're wrong"</p>
<p>"why would they apply to wharton anyway if they're major is architecture?"</p>
<p>-That is exactly my point. If you're going to quote me, don't just pick and choose what I said. I also said:</p>
<p>"It is absolutely necessary to look at in on a person-by-person and PROGRAM-BY-PROGRAM basis."</p>
<p>"Its not absurd, There are some schools that are just easier in general.."</p>
<p>-I'm not talking about "some schools"; I'm talking about the Ivy League. They are all looking for the best students possible, and tend to share applicants. Is it probably easier for a random student to get into a local community college than Harvard? Sure. But, Cornell is not a local community college. </p>
<p>"Have you ever heard that you don't have to put a specific major on some colleges, You can decide on that once youu get in?? (((ding dong))) so in that case they will select you overall."</p>
<p>Yet, you STILL apply to a certain college within the university; when you apply to Cornell or Penn you apply to the 'school of X', you don't apply to the 'university' as a whole. A person's chance of gaining admission to different colleges within a university can, and probably does vary depending on the college to which he applies. For example: a person could be rejected from Wharton but have the stats to get into Penn CAS, so depending on which school to which he applies, his chances could vary, much like a person could be rejected from Cornell Architecture for having a weak portfolio but could be accepted to Cornell CAS.</p>
<p>"correction is often taking by those who know when they're wrong"</p>
<p>-What is this gibberish? </p>
<p>"You really are being an annoying troll"</p>
<ul>
<li>Whatever you say my friend...<br></li>
</ul>
<p>"Do you have a clue what you're talking about." </p>
<p>-This coming from a person who didn't know the difference between "to found" and "to find", who didn't know the difference between a "college" and a "university" and who couldn't calculate 2/3 EVEN WHILE USING A CALCULATOR...... Sure, think what you want. </p>
<p>"When this thread started you disagreed with like almost three+ people."</p>
<p>-Is it not my right to disagree with people's views? Should I not write simply because you don't agree with it? If you have a problem with my views, then express them in an intellectual way, don't just write things for the sake of doing it.</p>
<p>I agree with a mix of the posters. I think you cannot generalize and say which UNIVERSITY is easiest to get into. You can decide which Ivy History major is easier to get into or which business school is easier. </p>
<p>I think admission rates give more insight than a lot of people let on when dealing with schools of such close caliber. Let's pretend like Harvard's history program admits 20% of its applicants and Dartmouth's history program only admits 10% of the applicants. I believe that a majority (not all) of the applicants would apply to BOTH Harvard and Dartmouth and thus you could say Dartmouth is looking for a more specific type of student than Harvard, making it harder to get into.</p>

<p>-Not if you happen to be that type of student, right? If Dartmouth is looking for a specific type of student, and you are that kind of student then would it not be EASIER for you to get into Dartmouth than Harvard? That is, unless you are saying that said student could get into Harvard regardless - that Dartmouth has higher quality applicants to begin with- and as such, is more selective than Harvard.</p>
