College Search & Selection

<p>it seems to me that mit has the best '09 class in the world
if u look at the ppl going there, its crazy! IMO ppl, USABO, USAMO, INTEL, ISEF, STS, etc...plus a bunch of others....
MIT '09 seems to have slaughtered Harvard, Yale, and Princeton '09 like lambs in springtime.</p>

<p>I hope you have a flame retardant suit.</p>

<p>Yeah, what are all of those awards/accomplishments that you listed? Science and Math! Of course it's going to have the best science and math students because it is arguably the best technical school in the world.</p>

<p>But last time I checked there are many important areas in the world besides science and math. I guarantee that MIT wouldn't fare as well in those disciplines. In fact, there are a few universities that are better overall (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford) because MIT lacks the humanities and social sciences strength that the four aforementioned universities offer.</p>

<p>When's the last time an MIT grad was president?</p>

5

<p>... of the National Academy of Sciences? Why, recently.</p>

<p>I like how the thread title is "MIT has best '09 class than all other colleges," because "best" is a superlative, not a comparative... It should be "MIT has better '09 class than all other colleges," or "MIT has best '09 class".</p>

<p>LOL. Learn grammar! ;)</p>

<p>Mmm...not exactly. MIT didn't take all the top kids. Check out the USAToday 2005 High School Academic All-Stars:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2005-05-12-first-team-hs-academic_x.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2005-05-12-first-team-hs-academic_x.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Final Score:</p>

<p>Harvard - 7
Yale - 2
Princeton - 2
Stanford - 2
Caltech - 2</p>

<p>Among schools getting at least one, MIT tied for last with Embry-Riddle, Davidson, and a few other schools with one each.</p>

<p>Hehe this is a funny thread.</p>

12

<p>3 of the smartest ppl i know got rejected from MIT ( 1500 SAT, 4.0 unweighted gpa, and athletes on the tennis and golf teams with a ****load of EC's) They r all ont there way to Duke or Virginia tech next year.</p>

<p>Dam MIT</p>

<p>My friend got in with a 3.8 and an 1100 on the SAT!</p>

<p>I KNOW SOMEONE ON THAT LIST, he goes to my school, how incredible is that...</p>

<p>That's a common misconception that is simply not true. MIT social sciences are excellent, and its business school (both grad and undergrad) is top-notch. The difference is fewer students there choose to go down those paths.</p>

16

<p>bananainpyjamas is right; while MIT's fame stems from the hard sciences, its other fields are elite as well.</p>

17

<p>hey, caltech slaughters MIT in science</p>

<p>kthanksbye</p>

18

<p>physics, yes. Econ, Engineering, and the social sciences are squarely in MIT's corner when comparing the two.</p>

19

<p>Lists of students like that make me feel "less than"</p>

<p>albertfermat1 is happy to see the flame he intentionally set out keep growing. i am not gonna comment on MIT to feed this immature kid.</p>
