My DS with high stats applied to Harvard and was deferred. He would like to pursue a math major, has math related awards and research. He is applying to the top places. If he gets into both, which one is better in math, Princeton or MIT? |
MIT fool |
Come back and ask after he does. |
MIT no doubt! |
+1. Although some MIT people are distinguishing themselves already here with their typical lack of anything resembling social skills. |
I graduated in the 80's and got into both Princeton and MIT. Chose MIT and do not regret! |
A deferral at Harvard is a soft rejection. It is even more challenging to get into Princeton. Good luck but I think you’ve already been told this happening for your child unless uou have major hooks. |

For pure math, it's a toss-up. Of course, if he actually "has math related awards and research," he should know that. He also should have the sense to apply to some of the public powerhouses where admission is more of a sure thing--Illinois, Washington, etc. |
+1. What is the point of this thread? |
MIT. No question. |
MIT will chew that little pansy school up and spit it out |
Geek-aggressive is still geek. |
NP. Well, I am here too because I am not Christian. This is a regular Friday for me. |
I know a kid who had this exact choice last year and she chose to study math at MIT. |
