[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oxbridge has a higher floor but lower ceiling. This is due to the stricter requirements, whereas HYP students can enroll in upper level undergrad courses and even graduate courses their freshman year[/quote] Upper level courses aren’t necessary “harder”, they are often just more specific. The toughest courses are often lower to mid-level “weed out” classes. The US History survey course was harder to do well in than the course on the Jazz Age, or the one on Vietnam era. [/quote]How can this be, given that everyone taking the Jazz/Vietnam course did well I'm the US History survey course? Even if no one failed the upper level courses while many failed the lower level ones, that wouldn't imply that the upper level courses are any easier, because the people passing the upper level courses have already passed the lower level course.[/quote]
