<p>At a certain level, you can only make relative/comparative judgments about universities of a certain caliber, not statements about black and white weaknesses.</p>
<p>Are Yale’s math/science departments weaker than Harvard’s? Yes. Are Yale’s math/science departments still some of the best in the country? Yes.</p>
<p>If you’re a singer, will Yale offer you more options than Harvard will in terms of acapella groups, choruses, etc? Yes. Are Harvard’s singing groups some of the best in the country? Yes.</p>
<p>etc. (My questions are not meant to be quoted and shot down in replies because people are overly prideful of their respective schools; they’re meant to illustrate a point. They are both, however, totally true.)</p>
