[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cornell just had another suicide.  That school is HARD, and the weather often makes it bleak! [/quote]

Is it the social atmosphere or academics? What makes it so difficult? [/quote]

It’s the type of student they admit imo (anxious, striver)[/quote]
Exactly. 42% (544/1284) major in Engineering, Computer Science, or Econ.

Add biological sciences (for the gunner, pre-med types) and we are well over half the class. Cite: https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?q=princeton&s=all&id=186131#programs

Princeton has built its bed; now it has to lie in it. Hope its donors are happy...[/quote]

Over half of undergrads at Yale now major in STEM.  [/quote]
Many STEM majors were not included in the above Princeton data.

But you want to compare all STEM majors between the two schools, go do it with this link and then get back to us: 
https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?q=yale&s=all&id=130794

In fact, you should have done that before posting; it would have saved us the trouble of reading your misleading post. [/quote]

I didn’t say Yale has MORE stem majors than Princeton as a percentage of the class. More than half of Yale students major in STEM. Heard this straight from the director of undergraduate admissions. [/quote]
Why are you sharing this, then? How is it relevant to the thread? Anyhow, you can confirm this Yale rep's statement with actual government data at the link above, which demonstrates that the majority of first majors at Yale are not, in fact, STEM majors. As a general rule, government data should always be looked at first.[/quote]
