<p>I have a hard time believing Stanford engineering is doable for most of its admits. I know very smart people who got into top schools incl. MIT and Berk who believe EE is quite hard there, at least to get A’s.</p>
<p>I didn’t find Berkeley engineering to always be insanely crazy either (some of it is).</p>
<p>Cornell is a terrible place to go to “escape” Berkeley grading, and it’s in a location I think little of (though there are really smart people there, and it is a really good school).</p>
<p>Calkidd and sakky basically said all there was to be said.</p>
