Exactly. A lot of Cornellians seem to think that they’d actually have a higher GPA if they had gone to Harvard.



Replace “Harvard” with “Brown” and it might actually be true.

Cornell isn’t as easy as norcalguy makes it out to be (he’s just an incredibly smart/hardworking guy), but it’s no walk in the park either (unless you’re in a few select majors with 70%+ median grades of A-/A’s).

However, I do agree that the myth of Cornell being the hardest Ivy is bogus. It’s just that Cornell accepts the highest proportion of unqualified applicants due to who knows what reasons, and this in turn leads to the highest proportion of whiners.
