<p>Personally I feel that is something people from Cornell just say to make themselves feel bad/soothe their inferiority complex. Honestly, the workload at Cornell is just as hard at the other top schools. Not harder or easier. Whiney premeds usually say that a lot because they feel that Cornell has “grade deflation” (when… the average is still like a B usually I don’t see how people can consider that deflated).</p>
<p>Sure, some other Ivies have seem to have higher grade inflation, but in recent years that has been getting better as well.</p>
