<p>MIT undergrad math department is 6 times bigger than Harvard Math. and MIT math PhD program is 4-5 times bigger than Harvard Math.</p>
<p>But NO ONE from MIT ever got Fields Medal even though there are 5 times more MIT math alumnus are out there than Harvard.</p>
<p>I know that MIT math is not that bad but it is somewhat embarrasing to see that MIT math is doing a lot worse than Harvard math which is 5 smaller… </p>
<p>I guess the top MIT math student is worse than the worst Harvard math student ? I know most (or all of ) MIT math PhD students have very painful experience of being rejected from Harvard…</p>
