<p>How would you rank the ivy league in order of difficulty?
My question deals with undergrad, and doesn't have to do with admissions for students, but for current students (in terms of how hard it is to get a good GPA,course rigor, etc.)</p>
<p>Cornell/Princeton
Columbia/Harvard
Yale/Dartmouth</p>
<p>I don't know much about Brown and Penn... Cornell and Princeton seem to be the most academically serious (Cornell is "the toughest Ivy to graduate from" and Princeton has hardcore academics and uses curves in some (all? idk) classes). I think there is some inflation at Harvard, but students study a LOT according to the PR surveys. Yale has been accused of having generous grade inflation, and Dartmouth has a less competitive student body, it seems. I am just basing this on what I've heard, though.</p>
<p>I generally agree, but I would put Yale above Dartmouth rather than alongside it.</p>
<p>I agree with it as well. But, yeah, I'd put Yale above Dartmouth and add Brown in between them.</p>
<p>Uh...Cornell? What? I believe you all though. I had just never heard that.</p>
