<p>"‘Caltech is more difficult than harvey mudd right?’
I don’t think this is clear. They’re probably both very hard. Honestly, it’s probably pointless to compare them. Ask a few of the Harvey Mudd students who frequent CC, like rocketDA or atomicfusion, and they’ll probably disagree that the former is tougher. "</p>
<p>Meh. I definitely believe that both are VERY tough. However, I think the ‘order of difficulty’ changes depending upon what kinds of things you wish to do at each institution.</p>
<p>For instance, engineering at Mudd is quite tough because you are required to become proficient in so many different areas in a relatively short period of time (after quite a substantial technical core). There are a lot of sleepless nights where you are in the lab…</p>
<p>I’m sure that Caltech is very difficult in its own regard.</p>
<p>Just flat-out asking which one is harder is like asking whether apples or oranges are better. Personally, think oranges are but that really depends on the circumstances… :)</p>
