<p>The Lampoon is far more selective than The Crimson. Something like 800 current undergraduates have completed The Crimson comp and are “editors” (compared to ~20 for the 'poon). No Crimson comp has a quota or is graded on a curve… people who complete the (sometimes difficult, sometimes not) requirements get in.</p>

This is a really good point. Just wanted to add that some concentrations have makeup tutorials, and most concentrations are moving away from year-long tutorials. That said, some concentrations like Econ + Engineering can be difficult if you don’t take the right courses freshman year, because they have a rather rigid set of prerequisites.</p>
<p>Edit: And great report TokenAdult! Hope your son’s math competition went well.</p>
