Thank you for those of you who actually tried to respond to my question. For those of you who don’t get the point or think it is a dumb question, maybe not taking over the thread would be helpful.
I pretty much agree with all of the tangents that were taken. The question was, and still is, about the comparative rigor, difficulty, workload, etc. between these schools, specifically for a math or Econ major.
Are there bigger differences between Engineering and English than between Princeton and Stanford? Yep. That’s not the question.
I realize it’s all anecdotal. I’m just looking for whether someone had S go to Harvard, D went to Cornell. Both were the same major. When they come home for Christmas, both agree that D has a much heavier workload than S. Or if they think they are getting similar experiences.
