Ivy Difficulty Ranks

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<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>

2

<p>1) Cornell Engineering and Princeton Engineering</p>

<p>2) Everybody else.</p>

3

<p>They're about the same for the same majors.</p>

<p>The difference in difficulty b/w majors can vary greatly.</p>

4

<p>a professor of mine told me that an option for the cornell undergrad degree in econ requires further/more advanced study in econometrics than other schools, such as harvard (sucks).</p>

5

<p>hahaha "harvard (sucks)". Whenever anyone mentions Harvard in my classes my friend and I go "sucks". In a class we read a journal from harvard for a couple days and every time the teacher said "in the harvard journal..." my friend and i would go "sucks". lmao amazing</p>

<p>but ya it def depends on major. engineers, premeds, and architects work much much harder than anyone else here...and it's cornell...so they work really hard lol.</p>

<p>Well, I have heard that the top level math course (Math 55) for undergrads in Harvard is so insanely hard that if you are not among the top 50 young mathematicians in the nation, you don't belong there.</p>

<p>i thought MIT has better math people</p>

<p>Perhaps, but MIT isn't in the Ivy League.
This article shows how hard Math 55 is, but granted, it is from harvard's newspaper. <a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=516216%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=516216&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Math 25 at Harvard is going to be a little bit easier than Math 223-224 at Cornell. Math 55 at Harvard is a whole other world, but then again, some of the kids at Harvard are bona fide geniuses.</p>

<p>Math 311 at Cornell (Real Analysis) is harder than its counterpart at Harvard, Math 112. Real Analysis at UMass-Boston is harder than Math 112 at Harvard.</p>

<p>I want there during the time the undergrads were taking prelimbs (like finals). Kids were crying during the tests. Those were mostly premed and engineering.
Lucky thing is that there SO many resorces available at Cornell. It's pretty easy too avoid falling a class.</p>

<p>Quit exaggerating. No one cries during the prelims. We all cry silently in our dorms afterwards.</p>

<p>LOL hahahah</p>
