<p>Agree with Post #20 that Brown is a good choice for higher grades as well as for a low stress environment.</p>

If you want the prestige and ease of grade inflation, Cornell and Penn are not good choices according to my family's collective experience. Brown would be the top choice. It's practically a grade machine amongst the Ivies. (you can check into their grading and class-drop policy and you'll understand.)

<p>If this is common knowledge and grad schools know this, then why wouldn't they have a lower threshold for Cornell and Penn grads than for Brown grads?</p>
<p>^ Oh don't worry, they do.</p>
<p>"i heard that cornell has the toughest work load in the ivy league (the easiest to get into, the toughest to stay in)...scared me off a little."</p>
<p>"tell u the truth, i'm nervous about ED to cornell since there are already 2 ppl doing it.....also terrified of the work load haha."</p>
<p>I have been wondering about this, too. Can anyone who goes to Cornell, or anyone else, attest to this "myth" that Cornell has the toughest workload in the Ivy League?</p>
